We are excited to announce that the new GPT-4o Copilot code completion model is now available for GitHub Copilot users in Visual Studio starting in 17.14 Preview 2! This new model, based on GPT-4o mini, has undergone additional training on over 275,000 high-quality public repositories across more than 30 popular programming languages. As a result, developers can expect more accurate suggestions and better performance.

Try it out now!

For Visual Studio users who have yet to use GitHub Copilot, get started today! There’s even a free plan that includes 2,000 completions and 50 chats per month. You can sign up directly in Visual Studio (version 17.8 or higher) or explore plans here.

Once you have enabled GitHub Copilot, try out the new model by going to Tools -> Options -> GitHub -> Copilot -> Copilot Completions and selecting “GPT-4o Copilot” in the dropdown. You can also access the settings by clicking the GitHub Copilot badge on the top right corner and go to Settings -> Options. Note that there might be a delay on retrieving the latest model list for the first time, please try restarting Visual Studio if you don’t see the new GPT-4o model in the dropdown.
