About GitHub Copilot

Copilot is racing to become model-agnostic AI infrastructure with enterprise guardrails.

GitHub Copilot is shipping at high cadence along two axes: expanding its model roster (Claude Sonnet 5, and now Kimi K2.7 as its first open-weight option, plus auto model selection) and building governance and metering for enterprises (managed-settings.json, per-user AI credit budgets, session spend caps). Vision GA adds image and PDF input. The through-line is Copilot positioning itself as a model-neutral assistant layer that large organizations can govern and meter.
