Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) is an American multinational technology company that develops and sells software, services, and hardware. The company is globally recognized as a leader in AI, leveraging its collaboration with OpenAI and developing AI resources for its consumers and business customers such as Copilot and Microsoft Azure.

On Tuesday, October 29, CNBC reported that Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)’s most successful AI product, GitHub Copilot, is now going beyond OpenAI to allow developers more choice in the models they want to use. GitHub stated in a blog post that developers will be able to power the GitHub Copilot Chat feature with Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet model or Google’s Gemini 1.5 Pro model, as substitutes for OpenAI’s GPT-4o, if they wish.

“There is no one model to rule every scenario, and developers expect the agency to build with the models that work best for them. It is clear the next phase of AI code generation will not only be defined by multi-model functionality, but by multi-model choice. Today, we deliver just that.”

– GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke said in the post.

OpenAI’s o1-preview and o1-mini models that are designed for complex problem solving will also be available in the Copilot Chat on GitHub’s website and in the open-source Visual Studio Code text editor, currently available in a public preview. Meanwhile, Google’s model will be available in the coming weeks, according to a spokesperson.
