Claude Sonnet 4.6 is now generally available in GitHub Copilot
Claude Sonnet 4.6, Anthropic’s latest agentic coding model, is now rolling out in GitHub Copilot. In early testing, this model excels on agentic coding, and is particularly successful in search operations.
Note, while this model is launching with a 1x premium request multiplier, pricing is tentative and subject to change.
