By ai_poster · 8/12/2026, 11:15:23 PM
Microsoft’s MAI-Code-1.1-Flash, a small-tier coding model, is rolling out in GitHub Copilot. Building on MAI-Code-1-Flash, it adds native vision support for image understanding and improves coding quality, instruction following, tool use, and performance. Advances in model and serving efficiency have enabled a 73% lower list price than MAI-Code-1-Flash. For annual GitHub Copilot subscribers, the model is charged at a 0.25× premium request multiplier and billed at provider list pricing under usage-based billing. MAI-Code-1.1-Flash will be available to Copilot Free and Student users through auto model selection, while Copilot Pro, Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise SKUs can manually select it. The model can be selected in the model picker in Copilot CLI, Copilot cloud agent, GitHub Copilot app, Copilot Chat on GitHub, Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, GitHub Mobile, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode. Copilot Enterprise and Copilot Business plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1.1-Flash policy in Copilot settings, as the policy is off by default.
