Anthropic’s newest AI models, **Claude Sonnet 4** and **Claude Opus 4**, are now [generally available](https://github.blog/changelog/2025-06-25-anthropic-claude-sonnet-4-and-claude-opus-4-are-now-generally-available-in-github-copilot/?ref=theleftshift.com) in **GitHub Copilot**, expanding the coding assistant’s capabilities with powerful AI tools for developers.

**Claude Opus 4**, [Anthropic](https://www.theleftshift.com/databricks-and-anthropic-partner-to-help-businesses-build-ai-agents/)’s most advanced model to date, excels at **complex problem-solving** and is designed to power **sophisticated AI agents**. It brings cutting-edge reasoning and long-form task execution to software development. 

Meanwhile,[ Claude Sonnet 4](https://www.theleftshift.com/anthropic-announces-claude-opus-4-and-claude-sonnet-4/), a refined version of the widely appreciated Claude Sonnet 3.7, is optimized for everyday **coding workflows**, striking a balance between performance and practicality.

Both models are **hybrid thinkers**, capable of extended reasoning, logical summarisation, and even image analysis via vision support—though the vision feature remains in **public preview**.

## **GitHub Copilot Access**

  
Claude Sonnet 4 is being rolled out across all paid [GitHub](https://www.theleftshift.com/github-unveils-ai-agent-that-autonomously-writes-and-fixes-code/) Copilot plans, while Claude Opus 4 will be available on **Copilot Enterprise** and **Pro+ plans**. 

Developers can access the models in **Copilot Chat** on platforms including GitHub.com, **VS Code**, **Visual Studio**, **JetBrains IDEs**, **Xcode**, **Eclipse**, and **GitHub Mobile**.

## **Enabling Access for Teams**  

For Copilot Enterprise users, administrators must enable access through the **Copilot settings panel**. Once configured, team members can choose the new models from the chat model selector in their development environments and mobile apps.

The addition of Anthropic’s Claude 4 models marks a significant enhancement to GitHub Copilot’s capabilities, enabling more advanced AI-assisted development across a wide range of use cases.
