Ask HN: Why doesn't Copilot for Business use your organization's actual repos?

I was just looking at the page for Copilot for Business ( https://ift.tt/rAoy51l ), and while it does offer some useful things for business users versus the regular Copilot product, it seems to me that they could make it much more powerful by fine-tuning a smaller model on all the repos in an organization (even private ones) that could generate additional recommendations that take into account all the existing code a company has. Obviously, users would want assurances that these personalized models wouldn't be shared with anyone outside of the organization, but Microsoft has enough credibility that I think many businesses would try it in hopes of enhanced productivity. Is it because it would be cost prohibitive? Maybe it only makes sense to fine tune a model if there are at least N users in the organization. Anyway, curious if anyone here has insights into this. Also interested in whether there are other companies offering this kind of product.
