GitHub’s Copilot goes multi-model to enable developers choose AI models of their choice

On Tuesday, at its annual developer conference Universe 2024, GitHub, the world’s most popular code repository, announced that it is going multi-model, enabling developers to choose from the world’s most popular large language models (LLMs), such as Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Google’s Gemini 1.5 Pro, and OpenAI’s GPT-4o, o1-preview, and o1-mini.

Developers can toggle between different models during a conversation on Copilot chat or continue to use the default model. Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet model will be available via GitHub Copilot starting today, and Google’s Gemini 1.5 Pro model will be made available later this week.
