In our early testing, Opus 4.7 delivers stronger multi-step task performance and more reliable agentic execution, building on the coding strategy strengths of its predecessor. It also shows meaningful improvement in long-horizon reasoning and complex, tool-dependent workflows.<\/p>\n<p>As part of our efforts to improve service reliability, we are streamlining our model offerings. Over the coming weeks, Opus 4.7 will replace Opus 4.5 and Opus 4.6 in the model picker for Copilot Pro+. We&rsquo;ve seen strong improvements across our benchmarks, and we&rsquo;re committed to providing individual users with state-of-the-art models while ensuring a fast, reliable Copilot experience.<\/p>\n<p>This model is launching with a <strong>7.5&times; premium request multiplier<\/strong> as part of promotional pricing until April 30th.<\/p>\n<p><video loop controls autoplay muted width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/github.com\/user-attachments\/assets\/084e2555-c07b-40d5-841e-9afac5ac823f\"><br>\n<\/video><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"availability-in-github-copilot\" id=\"availability-in-github-copilot\" ><a class=\"heading-link\" href=\"#availability-in-github-copilot\">Availability in GitHub Copilot<span class=\"heading-hash pl-2 text-italic text-bold\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Claude Opus 4.7 will be available to <strong>Copilot Pro+<\/strong>, <strong>Business<\/strong>, and <strong>Enterprise<\/strong> users.<\/p>\n<p>You&rsquo;ll be able to select the model in the model picker in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Visual Studio Code<\/li>\n<li>Visual Studio<\/li>\n<li>Copilot CLI<\/li>\n<li>GitHub Copilot Cloud Agent <\/li>\n<li>github.com<\/li>\n<li>GitHub Mobile IOS and Android<\/li>\n<li>JetBrains<\/li>\n<li>Xcode<\/li>\n<li>Eclipse<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Rollout will be gradual.
