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

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).
