GPT-5.3-Codex now powers Copilot Business
©GitHub Changelog

GitHub has transitioned to using GPT-5.3-Codex as the base model for its Copilot Business and Enterprise services, replacing the previous GPT-4.1 model. This new model, developed in partnership with OpenAI, is GitHub's first long-term support model, ensuring availability for 12 months, which is vital for enterprise security and stability. The model is noted for its high code survival rate among enterprise customers. While GPT-5.3-Codex comes with a premium request unit multiplier, GPT-4.1 will still be available temporarily until the introduction of usage-based billing in June 2026.

GitHub Copilot Enhances Code Review with Agent Skills

GitHub has expanded its Copilot code review capabilities, making agent skills and MCP server integration available to Pro, Business, and Enterprise users. These features allow teams to embed their internal tools and coding standards directly into the code review process, providing more tailored and context-rich reviews. By linking to third-party platforms like issue trackers and documentation systems, Copilot can draw in relevant information to enhance the review process. This update marks a significant advancement in AI-assisted code reviews, offering a more customized and informed approach for development teams using GitHub.

GitHub Automates Copilot Model Enablement

GitHub is making it easier for Business and Enterprise users to access new Copilot models by implementing a default enablement policy. This change means that new models will automatically be available unless administrators decide to opt out, reducing the need for manual activation. The policy will be effective from August 26, giving organizations a 28-day period to adjust their settings if they prefer manual control. This approach minimizes the administrative workload and ensures users can quickly benefit from the latest AI advancements, while still allowing organizations to maintain oversight by opting out if necessary.
