Frontier performance at a fraction of the cost.
In the @ArtificialAnlys Coding Agent Index, Copilot Fusion Max scored within two points of Claude Code with Opus 5.5 Max at about half the API cost per task.

The @github engineering team built a best-in-class, truly multi-model harness, which we've implemented across Microsoft products.
Introducing Microsoft Copilot harness in Foundry Agent Service, a simpler way to build agents without rebuilding the execution layer.
It handles orchestration, tools, context, and controls so you can focus on your agent’s skills and outcomes.
Watch @jeffhollan's demo to see it in action.
What it means to be a developer has changed, but the goal of completing meaningful software work remains the same.
Today we shipped some updates to help you create while staying in control of what actually ships. ⬇️

Copilot Automations ⚙️
Every developer has work they shouldn’t have to repeat. Define the job once, then run it on demand, on a schedule, or in response to activity in GitHub or a connected service. Share automations with your team and set their access, actions, and spending limits.

GitHub has released Copilot Fusion in GitHub Copilot, which orchestrates between Anthropic and OpenAI models. It scores 2 points below Opus 5.5 in Claude Code at half the Cost per Task in the Coding Agent Index
GitHub describes Copilot Fusion as a runtime orchestration system, which selects and coordinates models to optimize performance, cost, and latency for each task. Copilot Fusion chooses between a number of models from Anthropic and OpenAI, including Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.5, GPT-6 Astra, and GPT-6 Sol. We benchmarked its max setting in GitHub Copilot CLI in the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index v2.0.
Token costs are charged based on the underlying models used to complete a request.
Key takeaways:
➤ Cost-efficient for near-frontier performance: Copilot Fusion in GitHub Copilot costs $5.59 per task, versus $11.42 for Claude Code with Opus 5.5 (max). Devin Fusion with Opus 5.5 (max) + GPT-6 Luna (high) scores 62 at $8.00 per task.
➤ Slight lead in Terminal-Bench 4.0: The Coding Agent Index v2.0 weights its three constituent benchmarks equally. Copilot Fusion in GitHub Copilot leads Terminal-Bench 4.0 with a score of 71. It ranks third on FrontierCode in the chart at 51, behind Claude Code with Opus 5.5 (max) at 56 and Devin Fusion with Opus 5.5 (max) + GPT-6 Luna (high) at 54. Its SWE-Atlas-QnA-AA score lags at 57, between GPT-6 Astra in Codex and Gemini 4 Argon in Antigravity CLI.
➤ Half the token use of Opus 5.5 in Claude Code: GitHub Copilot Fusion used 7.2M tokens per task in the Coding Agent Index, approximately half of the tokens used by Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code, and 30% less than Devin Fusion with Opus 5.5 (max) + GPT-6 Luna (high).
