GPT-5.3-Codex, OpenAI’s latest agentic coding model, is now rolling out in GitHub Copilot. In early testing, GPT-5.3-Codex reaches new high scores on benchmarks we use to evaluate coding, agentic, and real‑world capabilities. It also has improved reasoning and execution in complex, tool‑driven, long‑running workflows which help it to deliver up to 25 % faster performance than GPT‑5.2‑Codex on agentic coding tasks.

Availability in GitHub Copilot

GPT-5.3-Codex will be available to Copilot Pro, Pro+, Business, and Enterprise users.

You’ll be able to select the model in the model picker in:

  • Visual Studio Code in all modes: chat, ask, edit, agent
  • github.com
  • GitHub Mobile (iOS and Android)
  • GitHub CLI
  • GitHub Copilot Coding Agent

Rollout will be gradual. Check back soon if you don’t see it yet.

Enabling access

Copilot Enterprise and Copilot Business plan administrators must enable the GPT-5.3-Codex policy in Copilot settings.
