Eligible plans are Copilot Pro+, Max, Business and Enterprise, and users can choose the model in supported clients including Visual Studio Code, Copilot CLI, GitHub Copilot coding agent and GitHub Mobile. GitHub says early testing found the model completed tasks with fewer tokens and steps than earlier GPT-6 and GPT-5.6 family models. Usage-based billing follows provider list pricing. Business and Enterprise administrators can manage access through Copilot settings; new models are enabled by default unless the global default is off or that model is disabled.","content_kind":"author_paraphrase","explanation":{"feature":"The model is available to four Copilot plans, with access expanding gradually across supported coding tools.","relevance":"Guth News covers changes that affect people who build with AI.
