On October 29, 2026, GitHub announced that Copilot Fusion is officially available. According to a report by Rohan Paul, the product can route coding tasks between Claude and GPT models; on Artificial Analysis's Coding Agent Index, its Max setting scored 60, compared with 62 for Claude Code, at a cost per task of $5.59 versus $11.42, with Fusion consuming 7.2M tokens per task, roughly half of Claude Code's usage. On the same day, Microsoft released multiple updates at GitHub Universe, stating that Copilot Fusion achieves frontier-level quality, is 40% faster, and reduces costs by up to 77%, and announced that a unified Copilot harness is entering Foundry as a managed service. There are currently no subsequent developments.

AI Daily Brief: Gemini 4 Carbon Tops AA Index with 59 Points
Gemini 4 Carbon topped the AA Intelligence Index with 59 points and is being made available first to cybersecurity defenders. GitHub launched Copilot Fusion, costing about half as much as Claude Code with comparable performance; Alphabet's Q3 revenue reached $127.6 billion, up 25% year over year, with Gemini users reaching 1 billion. An unannounced GPT Image 2.6 appeared in OpenAI's API documentation, supporting marker-guided editing.

Austrian court confirms 30-year statute of limitations for Volkswagen dieselgate compensation; Apple releases touchscreen MacBook Pro
Austria's Supreme Court (OGH) has confirmed in a final ruling that the statute of limitations for dieselgate victims' claims against Volkswagen is 30 years rather than 3 years, and Austrian car owners can still sue Volkswagen. Apple has released its first touchscreen MacBook Pro, with the 14-inch model starting at nearly 3,300 euros and the 16-inch model starting at 3,900 euros, featuring Tandem-OLED and Dynamic Island for the first time. Microsoft's quarterly revenue and profit exceeded expectations, with cloud business growing 30% and Copilot usage in Microsoft 365 growing 50%.

GitHub launches Copilot Access, Enterprise customers no longer need an additional Copilot license
GitHub launches Copilot Access: customers holding a GitHub Enterprise Cloud license can use all Copilot features for $21 per month, with no additional Copilot license required, so enterprises no longer need to manage two licenses per user. Copilot Standalone remains $10 per month but does not include credit allowance and is billed from first use; existing Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise customers can keep their current plan or voluntarily migrate, currently by contacting sales, with a self-service option to follow later. GitHub also introduces model routing Copilot Fusion, which can select a suitable model or combination of models for each prompt, saving up to three-quarters of token costs with essentially unchanged quality according to its benchmarks, and can call locally installed models.

Microsoft at GitHub Universe announced Copilot Fusion, Foundry managed service and…
At GitHub Universe, Microsoft announced multiple updates, saying it is redefining the SDLC for the agent era. GitHub Copilot Fusion is claimed to reach frontier-level quality, with a 40% speed improvement and up to 77% lower cost; the unified Copilot harness has entered Foundry as a managed service for building long-running agents that can reason, call tools and complete work; Copilot Projects provides an orchestration loop for multi-agent collaboration across repositories. Microsoft also said it is expanding capacity and strengthening GitHub's architecture.

GitHub releases Copilot Fusion model selection and orchestration system
GitHub released Copilot Fusion at the Universe conference; the system automatically selects and orchestrates the models used for coding tasks, and it is now generally available. GitHub says Fusion Max scores 60 on the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index, less than 2 points behind Claude Code using Opus 5.5 Max, while its average API cost is about half of the latter and its time per task is about 40% lower. Developers only need to choose among three investment levels—Fusion Standard, High, and Max—and enterprise administrators can restrict which models are available and set whether it is the default.

Artificial Analysis tests GitHub Copilot Fusion: $5.59 cost per task…
In Coding Agent Index v2.0, Artificial Analysis benchmarked GitHub Copilot's Copilot Fusion, which costs $5.59 per task, compared with $11.42 for Claude Code with Opus 5.5 (max), while performing only 2 points lower. Copilot Fusion is a runtime orchestration system that selects and coordinates among Anthropic and OpenAI models such as Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.5, GPT-6 Astra, and GPT-6 Sol. It leads on Terminal-Bench 4.0 with a score of 71, ranks third on FrontierCode with 51 points, and uses 7.2M tokens per task, about half that of Opus 5.5 in Claude Code.

GitHub adds 4 million CPU cores and releases Copilot Fusion multi-model routing
GitHub announced that on top of its August expansion it is adding more than 4 million additional CPU cores and 160 PB of storage, and rebuilding its Git architecture to decouple compute from storage, which it says can deliver up to a 35x throughput improvement. At the GitHub Universe conference, Copilot Fusion became generally available, routing frontier models across three tiers—Standard, High, and Max—based on task difficulty; the company says the Max tier improves task completion rates while keeping inference costs within 1.1x of baseline models. GitHub also launched AI code scanning, reachability analysis, and an npm package firewall, while Copilot Projects, Connectors (with native MCP integration), and Automations are now live; Copilot access has expanded to all GitHub Enterprise users with no additional seat purchase required.
