Subject: Claude 4 Opus and GPT 4.5 models are not appearing in the GitHub Copilot agent list despite my Pro+ subscription

Hello GitHub Support Team,

I am experiencing an issue with my GitHub Copilot Pro+ subscription, as Claude 4 Opus and GPT 4.5 models are not appearing in the list of available agents.

Account Details:

• Username: saafwan
• Subscription Type: GitHub Copilot Pro+ (Active)
• Issue Date: June 4, 2025
• Time: 17:12 UTC

Issue Description:
Despite my active GitHub Copilot Pro+ subscription, I cannot see or select Claude 4 Opus and GPT 4.5 models in the agent selection list. The other models appear normally, but Claude 4 Opus and GPT 4.5 models are not listed.

Steps I've already tried:

1. Log out and log back in to my GitHub account
2. Clear your browser cache and cookies
3. Try different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge)
4. Check your subscription status - make sure Pro+ is activated
5. Ensure you're using the latest browser version

Expected Behavior:
As a Pro+ subscriber, I expect to access all premium versions, including Claude 4 Opus, from the agent selection menu.

Actual Behavior:
Clude 4 Opus and the gpt 4.5 model do not appear in the dropdown list of available agents.

Questions:

1. Is Claude 3 Opus currently available to all Pro+ subscribers?
2. Are there any regional restrictions that might affect availability?
3. Is this model still being rolled out gradually?
4. Are there any account settings I need to enable to access this model? Please investigate this issue and provide instructions on how to access Claude 4 Opus and GPT 4.5 using my Pro+ subscription.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,
saafwan

I have a similar case as the one mentioned previously. I have noticed that the Claude Opus 4 model is available in the "Ask" section of GitHub Copilot, and I appreciate your efforts in making it accessible.

I would like to request your support to make this model available in the Agent section as well. Having access to the model in Agent mode would be more convenient for coding tasks.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Best regards,

@saafwan I noticed that in the most recent release of VS Code (1.104), you can now change models mid-conversation without losing context. I have started asking Opus to outline tasks first, then switch to a smaller model like Sonnet to implement the changes. This workflow has worked well for me over the last few days.

Manually switching models looks like an additional benefit of the new Auto Model selection feature.

Hope this helps anyone looking to make the most of their subscription

Same here

[liquidia]

same here not showing up opus 4 model in agent mode ask mode for opus 4 is working fine i have a pro plus plan

[saafwan]

You are right, although one of the conditions of the Pro+ plan is to work in proxy mode, the company should fix this issue.

[MayurVirkar]

Same here.
It automatically disappeared after I selected Sonnet 3.5
Its like it downgraded my pro+ account or something.

[wisniewski94]

I tried everything at this point - relogging, updating, reinstalling, but it still does not appear on the model list. I must admit it's quite disappointing given the price of the plan. Note this is not the case for web UI:

[wisniewski94]

Just checked and it's not available in GitHub Codespaces either:

[saafwan]

[saafwan]

The Copilot app suddenly crashes while I'm writing code. Even if I reload it, it doesn't work. I deleted the app completely. I'm fed up with it, but I don't know how to get my money back.

[wisniewski94]

Fixed in codespaces:

[atomgregg]

@wisniewski94 you are in ask mode, switch to agent mode and it will be gone

[apoorvkk]

i can't seem to find it either in agent mode :( but can see it in edit mode.

[fseffert]

Same here... I'm on a enterprise license, paying $40. No Opus4 in Edit or Agent Mode...

[x3inspire]

Same, really disappointed.

[saafwan]

I have canceled the subscription and requested the company to refund the money.

[killerbotofthenewworld]

Same here bought pro+ especely for opus4 in vs code and dont see it

GPT-4.1 said:
"""
I understand your concern. Some Copilot features, such as basic code completion and limited chat, are available without a Pro+ subscription. However, the Pro+ (or Copilot Pro) subscription is intended to provide:

• Access to the latest and most capable models (like GPT-4, GPT-4o, and GPT-4.5 in chat, when available)
• Higher usage limits and priority access
• Additional integrations and features as they are released

If you are not seeing a difference in features or access after subscribing, or if features advertised as “Pro” are available to free users, this is valid feedback and should be brought to GitHub Support for clarification or resolution.

Your feedback is important for transparency and product improvement.

IT DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR ME.

following same issue

[Dats4794]

So does this mean that we cant use opus on agent mode?

[saafwan]

Yes

[oje]

We have enterprise and opus does not show up as well....

[atomgregg]

Is anyone from GitHub looking into this, or are we just having a nice discussion?

Like all of you, I paid for Pro+ to access these models, and now am seeing that I can only "chat" without any "agent" capabilities. Very disappointing.

[atomgregg]

i found this page and have requested a downgrade/refund

https://support.github.com/contact/account?flow=refund_copilot_individual

when the agent works with the pro+ models, i'll be upgrading immediately, but this is the only option until then

until that happens, i hope github get the hint with the misleading advertising

[nikhiltalreja]

I bought pro just for gpt4.5 and claude 4 opus, and its not available in agent mode. what the hell!

I am due for payment and I have written to them for a waiver for the reasons known to us all. Will they respond or not? Did anyone get a refund and downgraded to $10 plan? -NikhilOn 12 Aug 2025, at 10:44 PM, Johannes Lundberg ***@***.***> wrote: Thanks for this information! What a scam.

[David-jian]

I have the same issue. The reason I upgrade from Pro to Pro+ is claude opus 4.1, but I can't use it in agent mode. It is terrible.

[TroyCoderBoy]

Opus 4.1 is available in VSCode Copilot ASK mode. But it along with GPT5 is not available in any mode in Visual Studio 2022 Copilot.
I believe Github prioritize VSCode Copilot over Visual Studio Copilot.

[David-jian]

Thanks for you reply. I am using VS code, and I know it is available in ASK mode. I want to use it in Agent mode, not only ASK mode. Thanks

[keven1229]

I found this document about model in different mode (ask/agent).
Seems Claude 4 Opus is not available in agent mode by design.
Hope soon they will add it to agent mode.

[predkambrij]

Please, make it available as agent 🙏

[RicardoAmbusun]

what is the difference between editor / ask mode?

[ruscopeland]

Want to get their attention, how about we come up with a solution. Consider this, one premium request per ask,edit,agent prompt from you. How much gets done per mode? agent does a lot per prompt, if done correctly you have it create an entire program with one prompt. I have had agent mode going nonstop for 15 mins, that is a lot of token usage. Now if we all are doing the same thing and we would naturally want to use opus, the servers would be so clogged up, while sonnet is twiddling its thumbs.

If it was about sucking money from the everyone they would have more tiers, people with huge budgets are going to do what they do with unlimited budget extensions regardless and they are not the majority. Giving people more tiers would generate more income from us basement dwellers by targeting everyone's budget. But they are not doing that now are they?

Opus is not needed for most tasks, hell most tasks can be done with 3.5 or less. If we had a mode that looked at overall task with opus, and it then broke down the task into different parts by difficulty and assigned them to different models, since it already comes up with a plan at the beginning, adding task management to the mode instructions is easy enough. Just need the ability to be able to either switch models mid agent mode or able to run multiple models concurrently.

I think most issues can be dealt with in prompting. Or if it was done at a higher level with model switching at the server side.

Maybe like tech support that escalates to a higher tech the more pissed off the customer is, just monitor the prompt for more curse words and it would know to escalate the prompt. I know i have done my fair share of profanity laced prompts. ;-)

[TerryHenrard]

It’s pretty disappointing… I even upgraded to the Pro+ plan just to get Opus 4.1 in agentic mode. But the issue isn’t with GitHub, it’s with Anthropic. I’m confident that once the model is available in agentic mode, it’ll show up in VS Code as well.

I also can't choose Opus 4.1 from the "Pick Model" list in agent mode. Active Pro+ subscription.

[Szadam88]

It's really disappointing that Opus 4.1 isn't available in GitHub Copilot, especially since this wasn't clearly mentioned during plan selection. I expected to be able to choose Opus directly in the model selector—not just access it in the web browser.

[arshceo]

On 5 December 2025, I'm on copilot pro, and was using OPUS 4.5 (preview) Model happily, but then suddenly mid conversation, it was gone.
Will I ever get it back Github, I want only that, the best coding model there is.
