GitHub Copilot auto now offers efficiency, balance and intelligence tiers to guide how it weighs cost, quality and response time. All tiers use the same available models, and usage is billed according to the model auto selects.
GitHub says Copilot Business and Enterprise users with usage-based billing can request a higher budget after reaching their AI credit limit. Organization or enterprise owners and billing managers can approve, adjust, or deny requests; approval restores access to AI credits.
GitHub says Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Sol are available to Copilot Pro+, Max, Business and Enterprise plans. GPT-6 Luna and Grok 4.7 are also available, with Pro added to their listed plans. The Copilot app also adds local sandboxing in public preview.
Claude Code v2.1.280 changes the default model on Pro and Team Standard plans from Sonnet to Opus. The release identifies Opus 5.5 as the new default Opus model.
Claude Code v2.1.284 says Sonnet 5.5 is now the default Sonnet model on the Anthropic API. For Claude apps gateway users running this version or later, /usage and the status line can show dollar amounts against the monthly spend limit.
Anthropic announced on September 17 that redesigned Claude Code Projects can coordinate parallel threads, each a full Claude Code cloud session. It warned that projects can reach usage limits faster; the beta rollout was planned to expand in stages.
OpenAI's status page says elevated errors affected Codex, ChatGPT and the API on September 29, 2026. The incident began at 5:52 PM and was resolved at 11:14 PM, with affected services reported recovered.
OpenAI says its Ultrafast speed tier for Astra is available in Codex and ChatGPT Work on Enterprise plans and through the new Pro 500 plan. The company says Codex generation reaches up to 300 tokens per second; Ultrafast is also available to developers through the API.
Anthropic says Opus 5.5 input and output token prices fell 20% for token-billed usage, while cached-token reads fell 60%. Claude Code users can also set effort levels without resetting cache, and API-key and cloud-provider users can set a one-hour cache lifetime.
Google says Gemini 4 Argon will launch at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, with cached input 95% off. After an introductory period, prices rise to $4 and $20 per million tokens respectively. Wider access is planned to start with paid API customers and Google AI Ultra subscribers.
OpenAI says ChatGPT dots can create Work or Codex tasks on a connected computer and continue existing local Codex tasks. Conversations with a dot do not count toward ChatGPT usage limits, but tasks it starts or manages in Work or Codex count toward those products’ limits as usual.
Anthropic says it is resuming billing for refusals that arrive before any output in the bio, frontier_llm, and reasoning_extraction categories. Those refusals are charged at the rate of the model that ran; other pre-output refusal categories remain unbilled, and fallback credit is unchanged.
GitHub has expanded the HydraFusion research preview from Copilot CLI to Visual Studio Code and the GitHub Copilot app. Eligible users can select it in the model picker; organization and enterprise users may need an administrator to enable preview features.
OpenAI says GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna are rolling out to Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu users in Codex and ChatGPT Work. Free and Go users can access Luna in the desktop app. Availability depends on rollout and workspace settings; Enterprise administrators must enable the models.
GitHub says GPT-6.1 Sol is generally available to Copilot Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise users, with gradual rollout across listed Copilot surfaces. Usage-based billing follows provider list pricing; Business and Enterprise administrators can manage access in Copilot settings.
xAI says Grok 4.7 is available in Cursor and Grok Build, as well as through its API and other listed channels. API pricing starts at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens; a faster variant costs twice as much.
OpenAI lists GPT-6.1 Sol for Responses and Chat Completions, with standard pricing for prompts up to 272K input tokens of $2 per million input tokens, $0.10 per million cached input tokens, $2.50 per million cache-write tokens, and $10 per million output tokens. Multi-agent support is in beta through a Responses API request.
Anthropic says Claude Sonnet 5.5 is available on several named API and cloud platforms. It also documents compatibility changes affecting thinking settings, forced tool use, thinking blocks, computer use, and advisor-tool requests.
Anthropic lists Opus 5.5 API input and output at $4 and $20 per million tokens, below Opus 5 prices. It also says five-hour usage limits are increasing on Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans, with a reset subscribers can save and use when they choose.
GitHub says Claude Sonnet 5.5 is generally available to Copilot Pro, Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise users, with gradual rollout across listed Copilot surfaces. Business and Enterprise administrators can manage model access in settings.
OpenAI says GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna accept text and image inputs and generate text through the Responses and Chat Completions APIs. Standard pricing for prompts up to 272K input tokens is $2 input, $0.20 cached input, and $10 output per million tokens for Sol; Luna is $0.10, $0.01, and $0.50 respectively.
