Overview

GPT-5.5, OpenAI’s latest GPT model, is now rolling out on GitHub Copilot. In our early testing, GPT-5.5 delivers its strongest performance on complex, multi‑step agentic coding tasks and resolves real‑world coding challenges previous GPT models couldn’t.

Note: This model is launching with a 7.5× premium request multiplier as part of promotional pricing.

Availability in GitHub Copilot

GPT-5.5 will be available to Copilot Pro+, Copilot Business, and Copilot Enterprise users. You’ll be able to select the model in the model picker in:

  • Visual Studio Code
  • Visual Studio
  • Copilot CLI
  • GitHub Copilot cloud agent
  • github.com
  • GitHub Mobile (iOS and Android)
  • JetBrains
  • Xcode
  • Eclipse

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-5.5 policy in Copilot settings.
