Microsoft is integrating OpenAI’s new GPT-5 models into its Copilot lineup—Microsoft 365 Copilot, Azure AI Foundry, GitHub Copilot, and more. A “smart mode” automatically switches models for deep reasoning or quick replies, and free users get GPT-5 access too. Enterprises benefit from improved context tracking, multi-step logic, and enhanced code quality. Developers can route tasks to the best model via Azure AI Foundry. Four GPT-5 variants optimize for reasoning, enterprise chat, multimodal tasks, and coding.
