Copilot Code Completion Now Uses the GPT-4.1 Copilot Model

GitHub Copilot’s code completion feature has been upgraded to use the GPT-4.1 Copilot model. This latest model brings key improvements for developers:

Expanded Coding Capabilities: Leveraging the strengths of GPT-4.1, the new Copilot model can provide more accurate and diverse code suggestions.
Extended Knowledge Cutoff: The model has access to more recent and higher quality training data, allowing for up-to-date coding practices.
Reinforcement Learning: The Copilot model has been refined using reinforcement learning techniques based on user feedback, leading to more relevant and context-aware code completions.
Automatic Availability: All Copilot users, regardless of their subscription plan, will automatically be upgraded to the new model.
Model Selection: Developers can select or confirm their completion model in the code completion model picker.

For additional information on using code suggestions with Copilot, refer to the official documentation.

Feedback on the new model is welcomed in the GitHub Community.
