GitHub launches Copilot Fusion, matching Claude Code on quality at lower cost

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

GitHub has officially launched Copilot Fusion, a multi-model orchestration system that routes prompts to different AI models based on effort levels and patterns. The system, previously known as HydraFusion, aims to provide cost-effective coding assistance by selecting optimal models for tasks. GitHub claims Copilot Fusion Max performs within two points of Claude Code with Opus 5.5 Max on the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index, while costing approximately half as much per task. AI

IMPACT This launch could drive down costs for AI-assisted coding and encourage further development of multi-model routing systems.
