Copilot cloud agent model options and usage multipliers

The news at the time

GitHub added Claude Haiku 4.5 and GPT-5.4-mini as Copilot cloud agent model options. The notice frames them as options for simpler changes, not universal replacements for complex work.

The notice lists a 0.33x multiplier for each added model. A usage multiplier is not a measured guarantee of runtime, code quality or total project cost.

Follow-up checked during renewal

No additional follow-up fact was established in this renewal. This does not establish that nothing changed.

What to review before applying this

Evaluate representative tasks for correctness, retries and review effort alongside usage charges. Verify the current product model list and policies instead of treating this historical multiplier as a current price quotation.

Editorial review suggestions; no hands-on product experiment was performed.
