GitHub quietly rolled out a new Copilot model called Raptor Mini, with almost no benchmarks or technical details. We tested it by pushing it beyond “small tasks” and asked it to build a full real-time satellite dashboard from scratch. The results were surprising, especially how fast and practical this model feels in real-world use.
