GitHub Docs — Copilot

4 items

GitHub's own documentation for Copilot, and the only place the per-token price of each model in the model picker is written down. The changelog announces that a model is available; this is where the rate, the context tier and the plan allowance are stated. Every page is also served as Markdown by appending .md to the path, which is what an automated check can read.

GitHub Copilot ships a local sandbox for agent commands and lets its CLI pick models from Ollama

On October 7, 2026, GitHub made local sandboxing for Copilot generally available in the Copilot CLI, the GitHub Copilot app, and VS Code sessions that use Agent Host, at no extra cost. The sandbox limits what a command Copilot runs can read, write, and reach on the network, and it is off until you or your organization turn it on. The same day the CLI gained a picker for models served by a local Ollama instance, and Claude Haiku 5.5 joined the model list for paid plans.

GitHub Copilot retires four models and makes Balanced its default code review effort

GitHub deprecated four models across all Copilot experiences on October 2, 2026: Gemini 3.5 Flash, Gemini 3.6 Flash, Kimi K2.7 Code, and Claude Opus 4.7. On the same day it made Copilot code review available through the REST and GraphQL APIs. Balanced is now the default review effort level, a change that took effect on September 28, 2026. According to GitHub's documentation, a Balanced review consumes more AI credits than a Lite one.

GitHub Copilot can now control desktop apps and run workflows defined in code

GitHub put two Copilot features into public preview on October 1, 2026. Computer use lets Copilot CLI and the GitHub Copilot app operate desktop applications on macOS and Windows, and it stays off until you turn it on. Dynamic workflows run a multi-agent process that is defined in code, and they are available on all Copilot plans. GitHub's documentation warns that computer use can pick the wrong control and that on-screen content can trigger unintended actions.
