Claude 3.7 Sonnet is now available in GitHub Copilot in public preview

February 24, 2025

copilot

Claude 3.7 Sonnet is now available to all customers on paid Copilot plans. This new Sonnet model supports both thinking and non-thinking modes in Copilot. In initial testing, we’ve seen particularly strong improvements in agentic scenarios.

In GitHub’s internal evals, the model shows improvements over its predecessor in the ability to follow instructions, break down complex tasks, and build new UIs (human-reviewed).

Get started today!

Copilot Pro users

You can start using the new Claude 3.7 Sonnet model today via the model selector in Copilot in Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, and immersive chat on GitHub.com.

Copilot Business or Enterprise users

Copilot Business and Enterprise organization administrators will need to grant access to Claude 3.7 Sonnet in Copilot via a new policy in Copilot settings. Once enabled, you will see the model selector in VS Code and chat on GitHub.com. You can confirm availability by checking individual Copilot settings and confirming the policy for Claude 3.7 Sonnet is set to enabled.

Claude 3.7 Sonnet is not currently available in Copilot Free, but you can access it by upgrading to a Copilot Pro plan. Claude 3.7 Sonnet will be coming soon to Copilot in the Jetbrains IDEs.

Migration of GitHub Team plan organizations to the enhanced billing platform

February 24, 2025

billing

Starting today, existing GitHub Team plan organizations will begin to gain access to the enhanced billing platform: a suite of new features designed to help administrators understand and manage GitHub spend for their organizations.

Benefits of the new platform include:

Spend transparency – view usage for organizations, repositories, products, and SKUs by hour, day, month, or year
Improved control – set budgets to limit spending and configure alerts to stay informed of budget utilization

What to expect

All existing Team plan organizations will gain access to the enhanced billing platform by the end of March 2025. Organization owners have been informed via email, and an in-app banner will appear on the billing page in advance of the transition.

Here are some things to know about the transition:

Once transitioned, a new Billing & Licensing section will appear in the settings menu.
Spending limits will be migrated and renamed as budgets in the new billing platform. For more details about budgets, visit Preventing overspending
While the new billing platform will not visually display historical usage, you will be able to download a usage report to get your pre-transition historical usage.

Other important changes

Git Large File Storage will transition from prepaid, quota-based data packs to a usage-based metered billing model. If you use Git Large File Storage today, you’ll receive credits for any unused data packs. For more information, visit About enhanced billing for Git Large File Storage
Note: some billing-related APIs will no longer work or will work differently, and the relevant API documentation has been updated to reflect this information. For more information, see Actions Get workflow usage and Get workflow run usage endpoints closing down or Migrating from the endpoints used for the previous billing platform.
