The headline additions are two new models. Kimi K3 is rolling out across Copilot Pro, Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise plans. MAI-Code-1.1-Flash arrives alongside it, with native image understanding and what GitHub describes as improvements in coding quality, instruction-following, tool use, and performance. Neither replaces anything. They sit next to the models already available, which is the point. GitHub isn’t trying to win developers over to one model family. It’s trying to make sure whichever model they trust is one click away. That same logic shows up in Visual Studio Code 1.133, where developers can now switch models within a Claude session — moving between Claude BYOK and built-in Copilot models on a per-turn basis, without restarting the session or losing context. A developer can start a task with one model, hand off a step to another, and keep working. Mitch Ashley, VP and practice lead for software lifecycle engineering and AI-native software engineering at The Futurum Group, sees a cost hiding inside that convenience. “Developers already run two or three models and pick by task,” Ashley said. “Per-turn switching removes the restart and the record of which model wrote …
