- GitHub Issue artifacts enter public preview for agent plans and context
GitHub Changelog says Issue artifacts are in public preview: attach Markdown plans/research, Slack/Teams links, and HTML visualizations directly to an issue so coding agents and teams keep durable context.
- GitHub Copilot can generate and edit images inline with GPT Image 2.5 Flare
GitHub Changelog says Copilot can generate and edit images from natural language: the selected reasoning model calls a GPT Image 2.5 Flare tool, previews results inline, and saves assets into the project.
- Copilot Automations can learn from outcomes and propose self-improvements
GitHub Changelog says Copilot Automations can now learn from real GitHub outcomes and propose improvements to themselves, using signals such as triage or review results so prompts get better without only manual edits.
- GitHub rolls out shared Copilot Automations for team AI workflows
GitHub Changelog says shared Copilot Automations are rolling out so teams can build and maintain AI-powered workflows together with prompts, triggers, and allowed tools. Automations previously were personal-only; shared ones let teammates see and edit the same workflows while Copilot runs them in the cloud.
- GitHub Copilot Fusion goes GA: models routed and orchestrated for you
GitHub Copilot Fusion is generally available. Instead of picking a model for each task, developers choose Copilot Fusion and GitHub says Copilot intelligently routes and orchestrates which models it uses. Fusion combines Project HydraFusion's multi-model orchestration with Copilot's fine-tuned auto model selection, and adds administrator controls and billing options.
- GitHub starts enforcing a global default policy for new Copilot features through October 26
GitHub is gradually rolling out enforcement of its global default policy for generally available Copilot features and supported client capabilities on Copilot Business and Enterprise, through October 26. Eligible features left unconfigured follow the global policy under AI Controls → Copilot → Default policy for new features; admins can still set individual features explicitly.
- GitHub Copilot in Slack and Microsoft Teams can now work across multiple repositories in one conversation
GitHub says Copilot in Slack and Microsoft Teams now handles several repositories in a single conversation, for example listing your open pull requests across repos, summarizing merged work or investigating an issue that spans frontend and backend code. You can now mention @GitHub anywhere in a message, switch repositories more easily, and in Slack Copilot can use shared messages and threads as context. GitHub also says it reduced errors and improved task startup and recovery from interruptions.
- GitHub updates Copilot's HydraFusion multi-model orchestration and adds HydraFusion Max for harder tasks
GitHub updated HydraFusion, the research-preview Copilot option that orchestrates multiple models to produce one response, with a model pool that now includes Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Luna. It now sets reasoning effort per step, medium for drafts and high for review; its Cascade workflow can add a judging step that requests a repair only when needed, and Critique now inspects the workspace directly with parallel critic models. The new HydraFusion Max uses the same workflows with higher reasoning effort for the most demanding tasks. Both are available in VS Code, the GitHub Copilot app and Copilot CLI on Pro, Pro+, Business and Enterprise plans with preview features enabled.
