How to Use

  1. Open the model picker in your supported IDE or tool.
  2. Select GPT-5.5 from the list.
  3. Use as you would any other Copilot model — but expect better handling of multi-step agentic tasks.

Expect improved performance on complex debugging, multi-file refactoring, and long-context agentic workflows.
