Summary
On August 13, 2026, GitHub made Google's Gemini 3.7 Flash model available in GitHub Copilot for Pro, Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise users across VS Code, Visual Studio, Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, the Copilot app, JetBrains, Xcode, and Eclipse. GitHub cites gains in web and app development and agentic coding, plus improvements in code quality, output presentation, codebase research, and verification on complex tasks.
What changed
GitHub added Gemini 3.7 Flash as a selectable model in Copilot across all paid plans and supported editors.
Why it matters
Copilot's multi-model roster is now a fast-moving distribution channel where frontier and price-efficient models compete for developer default. Rolling a new Gemini Flash to every plan and editor at once pressures rivals on both quality and cost-per-task, and reinforces Copilot as a neutral surface rather than a single-model product.
Evidence excerpt
The model has made improvements in web and app development and agentic coding workflows over its previous version; available to Copilot Pro, Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise across VS Code, Visual Studio, Copilot CLI, the cloud agent, the Copilot app, JetBrains, Xcode, and Eclipse.
