OpenAI o1 is now available in GitHub Copilot Chat in public preview

OpenAI o1-preview and o1-mini are now available to all users in GitHub Copilot Chat in VS Code, Visual Studio, and on github.com/copilot.

OpenAI o1 is a new series of AI models equipped with advanced reasoning capabilities, trained to think through complex tasks using an internal thought process. During our exploration of o1-preview with GitHub Copilot, we found the models better understood code constraints and edge cases, producing more efficient and higher quality results.

Now, you can test these models for yourself. You can power GitHub Copilot Chat with o1-preview, o1-mini, or the default GPT-4o model. By switching models during a conversation, you can quickly move from explaining APIs or generating boilerplate code to designing complex algorithms or analyzing logic bugs.

With this preview, we’re excited to bring OpenAI’s latest advancements to you, whether you’re developing software with Copilot or building the next great LLM-based product. We can’t wait to see what you build!
