It's rolling out gradually to Copilot Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise users across VS Code, Visual Studio, Copilot CLI, coding agent, JetBrains IDEs, Xcode, Eclipse, and more. It's billed at provider list pricing under usage-based billing, and Business/Enterprise admins can control access via model policy settings. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Is GPT-6.1 Sol available in GitHub Copilot yet, and which plans support it? Yes, GPT-6.1 Sol is generally available and rolling out gradually in GitHub Copilot for Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise users. It can be selected in the model picker across Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, Copilot CLI, GitHub Copilot coding agent, the GitHub Copilot app, github.com, GitHub Mobile, JetBrains IDEs, Xcode, and Eclipse. Rollout is gradual, so it may not appear immediately for every user. _Track new Copilot model rollouts like this one on daily.dev before choosing what to build with._ ### How is GPT-6.1 Sol different from earlier GPT-6 and GPT-5.6 models in Copilot? GPT-6.1 Sol delivers strong multistep coding performance while using noticeably fewer tokens and steps than earlier models in the GPT-6 and GPT-5.6 families, based on early testing. It's positioned for agentic coding and terminal workflows in GitHub Copilot, and it is billed at provider list pricing under usage-based billing rather than a flat rate. _Compare token efficiency across coding models like this on daily.dev before switching your agentic workflow._ ### Can administrators control which Copilot users get access to new models like GPT-6.1 Sol? Yes, Copilot Business and Enterprise administrators can manage access to GPT-6.1 Sol through the model policy in Copilot settings. Under default model enablement, new models are automatically turned on unless an administrator has disabled the global default or explicitly disabled that specific model. _Follow Copilot admin policy changes like this on daily.dev to keep enterprise model access under control._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna are now available in GitHub Copilot](https://daily.dev/posts/openai-s-gpt-5-6-sol-terra-and-luna-are-now-available-in-github-copilot-zqr1kvlht) · GitHub Changelog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [GPT-5.1 and GPT-5.1-Codex are now generally available in GitHub Copilot](https://daily.dev/posts/gpt-5-1-and-gpt-5-1-codex-are-now-generally-available-in-github-copilot-2puy3mtzs) · GitHub Changelog · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [GPT-5.6 Sol: What OpenAI's New Flagship Model Means for Developer Workflows](https://daily.dev/posts/gpt-5-6-sol-what-openai-s-new-flagship-model-means-for-developer-workflows-uqyq6plz2) · SitePoint · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#github](https://daily.dev/tags/github), [#openai](https://daily.dev/tags/openai), [#ai-coding](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-coding) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/gpt-6-1-sol-in-github-copilot-xpbo94oza) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"GPT-6.1 Sol in GitHub Copilot","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/gpt-6-1-sol-in-github-copilot-xpbo94oza","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/gpt-6-1-sol-in-github-copilot-xpbo94oza"},"datePublished":"2026-09-29T17:45:27.306Z","dateModified":"2026-09-29T19:24:36.287Z","description":"GPT-6.1 Sol, OpenAI's newest model, is now generally available in GitHub Copilot for agentic coding and terminal workflows, offering strong multistep coding...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/a6443ece353d57069528fe46ab7369d4?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/a6443ece353d57069528fe46ab7369d4?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"GitHub Changelog","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"GitHub Changelog","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/15004b7835da4d89b02b115871f0f6dc","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/github_updates"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/gpt-6-1-sol-in-github-copilot-xpbo94oza","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"github,openai,ai-coding","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"GitHub Changelog","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/github_updates"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"GPT-6.1 Sol in GitHub Copilot"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/gpt-6-1-sol-in-github-copilot-xpbo94oza#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Is GPT-6.1 Sol available in GitHub Copilot yet, and which plans support it?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, GPT-6.1 Sol is generally available and rolling out gradually in GitHub Copilot for Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise users.
