Availability in GitHub Copilot

You’ll be able to select the model in the Copilot model picker from any of the following:

  • Visual Studio Code in all modes: chat, ask, edit, agent
  • Copilot Chat in github.com
  • GitHub Mobile (iOS and Android)
  • Copilot coding agent (Copilot Pro and Pro+ subscribers only)
  • Copilot CLI

Rollout will be gradual. If you don’t see the new models yet, check back soon.

Enabling access

  • Enterprise and Business plans: Administrators must enable the OpenAI GPT‑5.2‑Codex in Copilot settings. Once enabled, users in that organization will see the respective model in the Copilot model picker.
  • Pro and Pro+ plans: Users can enable the model by selecting it in the model picker and confirming the one‑time prompt.
  • Bring your own key: Within Visual Studio Code, select Manage Models from the picker, choose OpenAI GPT‑5.2‑Codex, and enter your API key when prompted.
