Claude Opus 5 rolls out to Copilot Pro+, Max, Business and Enterprise

What changed

Claude Opus 5 is available on Pro+, Max, Business and Enterprise, rolling out gradually. It works in VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains, Xcode, Eclipse, Copilot CLI, the cloud agent, the Copilot app, github.com and GitHub Mobile, billed at the provider’s API list price in AI Credits. Business and Enterprise admins must turn on the Opus 5 policy first, and GitHub warns that stronger cyber-safety safeguards may block some security-related prompts.

Who it affects

Pro+, Max, Business and Enterprise users, and admins who manage model policies.

What to do

Admins need to enable the Opus 5 policy; expect higher credit use since it bills at list price.
