GitHub turns Copilot into an agent orchestrator across projects and models

GitHub made Copilot Fusion generally available and opened cross-repository Copilot Projects in public preview, announced by Microsoft chairman and CEO Satya Nadella at GitHub Universe on October 28th. GitHub says Fusion used about half the API cost per task in a benchmark, and the Copilot harness is now available in Microsoft Foundry. The move makes model routing and multi-agent execution part of the same workflow as repositories and pull requests, with adoption hinging on whether agents complete cross-repository work reliably with clear review and costs.

Adoption will depend on whether agents can complete cross-repository work reliably, with review and costs clear to the developer. Satya Nadella @satyanadella https://x.com/satyanadella used GitHub Universe on October 28th to present GitHub Copilot as an agent orchestration system: one that selects models, runs agents across repositories and returns work for developers to review.
