GitHub makes Copilot Fusion generally available as a model router
First merged summary.
Copilot Fusion is generally available as a router across major GitHub coding surfaces, with a 30% discount through November 30, 2026.
GitHub made Copilot Fusion generally available in Visual Studio Code, Copilot CLI, the GitHub Copilot app, and JetBrains IDEs, subject to subscription and organization policy. Fusion is a runtime router, not a new model: it selects Single, Cascade, or Critique and can change patterns between prompts. Modes are Standard, High, and Max, plus a Fast mode limited to VS Code inline chat. There is no separate Fusion fee; each model bills at its normal rate, and paid users get a 30% discount through November 30, 2026. High and Max can use more credits. GitHub says earlier Copilot prompt-injection and RoguePilot issues were patched and do not indicate a Fusion vulnerability.
