GitHub Copilot Fusion mode selects best AI model for coding tasks

GitHub's Copilot is introducing a new 'Fusion' mode that intelligently selects the best AI model for a given coding task. This mode routes requests to various models, including Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.5, GPT-6 Astra, and GPT-6 Sol. The goal is to leverage the strengths of different models to achieve optimal performance, with initial results showing performance close to that of Claude Opus 5.5. AI

IMPACT This feature could improve developer productivity by optimizing AI model selection for coding tasks.
