GPT-5 atvyksta į Visual Studio: ką reikia žinoti

Microsoft brings GPT-5 to Visual Studio

OpenAI’s GPT-5 — billed as the company’s most advanced reasoning model yet, with upgrades in coding, math, and complex reasoning — is now being integrated into Microsoft’s developer tools. Following the announcement of the model, Microsoft confirmed a staged rollout that delivers GPT-5 to Visual Studio users through paid GitHub Copilot plans. The integration aims to accelerate development workflows from ideation through productionization.

Key product features

Improved reasoning and code quality

Microsoft highlights “substantial” gains in reasoning and decision-making for complex engineering tasks. GPT-5 promises improved code quality and maintainability with fewer prompts, clearer explanations for code changes, and agentic tuning that helps the assistant act more autonomously under developer direction.

Multiple interaction modes

Developers can interact with GPT-5 in Visual Studio using both Agent Mode — for multi-step, delegated workflows — and Ask Mode for quick Q&A and code suggestions. The model appears in the Visual Studio Copilot chat as “GPT-5 (Preview)” once available to your account.

Rollout details and how to access

The rollout is staggered. If you’re on a paid GitHub Copilot plan, check availability by clicking the Copilot badge in Visual Studio, opening Chat, and selecting GPT-5 (Preview). Enterprise customers should request their admin enable the GPT-5 policy in Copilot settings so tenants can choose the model from the model picker. Microsoft also warns that older models such as o3-mini will be deprecated in Copilot over time.

Comparisons and trade-offs

Compared with previous generations (for example, GPT-4 and earlier Copilot models), GPT-5 aims to deliver stronger logical reasoning, better math handling, and more context-aware code suggestions. However, the initial public reaction has been mixed. After launch, some users reported stricter chat limits in ChatGPT and questioned whether the upgrade actually improved real-world coding outcomes in every scenario. OpenAI adjusted rate limits in response to feedback, and social media contains both successful demos and tongue-in-cheek examples where users claim older models performed better for specific tasks.

Advantages and use cases

GPT-5’s strengths map well to several developer needs: rapid prototyping and ideation, automated refactoring, complex debugging, architecture planning, and generating developer documentation. For teams focused on developer productivity and AI-assisted software delivery, integrating GPT-5 into Visual Studio via GitHub Copilot can shorten iteration cycles and improve decision-making at scale.

Market relevance and enterprise impact

Microsoft’s adoption of GPT-5 underscores the growing role of advanced LLMs in mainstream IDEs. The partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI positions organizations that adopt Copilot with GPT-5 to potentially gain a productivity edge. Still, enterprises should balance potential gains with governance: enable policies, monitor model selection, and prepare for deprecation of older models.

Final takeaways

GPT-5 in Visual Studio represents a meaningful step in integrating powerful AI assistants directly into developer workflows. While the model brings notable improvements in reasoning, code quality, and agentic behavior, adoption will be incremental and accompanied by user scrutiny and operational considerations. Check the Copilot badge in Visual Studio to see if GPT-5 (Preview) is available to your account, and coordinate with IT or platform admins for enterprise enablement.
