MAI-Code-1.1-Flash is going local with on-device model calls inside Github Copilot.

High-quality agentic coding on your device, with no inference charge for local model calls.

Today, we announced the next step in the Project HydraFusion vision: local models and intelligent routing for GitHub Copilot on Windows.

@cinnamon_msft shows what this can mean for your everyday coding workflows.

Such an exciting time to be building right now! I’m extremely honored to have shown off local models running on our new devices, plus the new Auto routing from GitHub ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

If you need any more evidence about how exciting local AI (and llamacpp) is! From the @Microsoft windows launch today with @satyanadella @sriramk @JensenHuang

Local inference in GitHub Copilot on RTX Spark!

We're bringing local models and sandboxed tools to Windows and GitHub Copilot

Coming soon, GitHub Copilot will determine when a task is best handled by on-device intelligence and when it should leverage cloud-scale models.

Today, we announced new @Windows platform capabilities and @surface devices built to empower people and organizations for the era of hybrid intelligence. Here are some of the highlights:

- It all starts with trust. Microsoft Execution Containers (MXC) is now generally available on Windows 11, keeping agents contained within boundaries the operating system enforces.

- HydraFusion brings hybrid intelligence to life, allowing models to run locally while seamlessly accessing the cloud when more scale or capability is needed. We're working with @github to extend HydraFusion to Windows.

- This fall, Search on the taskbar adds thousands of quick actions, making it easier to adjust settings and get things done as fast as you can type.

- @MSFTCopilot is getting more powerful on Windows. With hybrid intelligence, it can tap into your PC's local capabilities and turn your requests into action, while keeping you in control.

- Local agents are coming to Windows too. Muse is on its way as a native Windows app with MXC integration, and Hermes, OpenClaw, and Perplexity are already building local experiences on Windows.

- Surface Laptop Ultra, built with NVIDIA RTX Spark, is the most powerful Surface we've ever built. It's available for pre-order today, along with the Surface RTX Spark Dev Box and new RTX Spark PCs from our partners. Call of Duty is coming to RTX Spark in 2027.

Cool it on the tab hopping 🐇

Reviewing agent code usually means switching tabs. The GitHub Copilot app puts the diff, terminal, and browser side by side to check, run, and preview.

How to customize your Windows Terminal dropdown menu ✨

New favorite command: copilot --continue

Navigate to your project folder and run this to instantly resume that project's last Copilot CLI session 🤯

You can also use --resume, but that's better for jumping into an even earlier session!

🗣️ Calling all open source maintainers!
You can automate things like issue triage, release notes drafting, and PR auditing all inside the GitHub Copilot app!
Here's a video talking all about these automations 👇

Fun fact: Ctrl+L will clear your terminal buffer window
