Claude Opus 4.7 is now generally available on GitHub Copilot, with improvements in multi-step tasks, long-horizon reasoning, and tool-dependent workflows. It replaces Opus 4.5 and 4.6 for Copilot Pro+, Business, and Enterprise users and is rolling out across the model picker in the Copilot suite. If you’re on Copilot Pro+ or higher, you can switch to Claude Opus 4.7 to access these enhancements, including better agentic execution and long-horizon planning.
What this means for you in Los Angeles:
- You should see Opus 4.7 appear in your Copilot model picker in VS Code, GitHub Copilot chat, and related tools if you’re on a supported plan.
- Expect improved handling of complex, multi-file tasks and longer sequences of actions when using Claude Opus 4.7, which may reduce manual intervention during coding sessions.
- If you rely on workflows that involve tooling or external APIs, the new model aims to execute those steps more reliably.
Would you like a quick guide on how to enable Opus 4.7 in your preferred environment (VS Code, Copilot Chat on GitHub, or Copilot CLI), or a brief comparison of Opus 4.7 versus 4.6 for common coding scenarios?
