GitHub made OpenAI’s newly launched GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna available in GitHub Copilot the same day as their public release.

Details

  • Supported surfaces: Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, Copilot CLI, the GitHub Copilot cloud agent, the Copilot app, github.com, GitHub Mobile (iOS/Android), JetBrains, Xcode, and Eclipse
  • Eligibility: GPT-6 Sol requires Copilot Pro+, Max, Business, or Enterprise; GPT-6 Luna is also available to standard Copilot Pro subscribers, reflecting its lower-cost positioning
  • Pricing: usage-based billing, with Luna positioned as the most economical model in the GPT-6 lineup
  • Rollout: incremental, so availability may vary by user initially

What happened next

Same-day availability in Copilot continues GitHub’s pattern of fast-following major new model releases across its full platform, giving developers access to OpenAI’s new budget-tier models immediately rather than after a delay.
