Availability and billing

GitHub says GPT-6.1 Sol is generally available in Copilot and describes it for agentic coding and terminal workflows. The listed plans are Copilot Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise. Access is rolling out gradually, so the model may not yet appear in every account.

Billing uses provider list pricing under usage-based billing. The announcement refers users to GitHub's models and pricing information but does not state a price, so check that source for current details rather than assuming a fixed rate.

Where to select it and who controls access

GitHub lists the model picker in Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, Copilot CLI, GitHub Copilot coding agent and app, github.com, GitHub Mobile for iOS and Android, JetBrains IDEs, Xcode, and Eclipse.

Copilot Business and Enterprise administrators can manage model access through the model policy in Copilot settings. Under default model enablement, new models are enabled automatically unless an administrator has turned off the global default or explicitly disabled this model.
