Today, OpenAI released OpenAI o1, a new series of AI models equipped with advanced reasoning capabilities to solve hard problems. Like you, we are excited to put the new o1 model through its paces and have tested integrating o1-preview with GitHub Copilot. While we are exploring many use cases with this new model, such as debugging large-scale systems, refactoring legacy code, and writing test suites, our initial testing showed promising results in code analysis and optimization. This is because of o1-preview’s ability to think through challenges before responding, which enables Copilot to break down complex tasks into structured steps.
In this blog, we’ll describe two scenarios showcasing the new model’s capabilities within Copilot and how it could work for your day to day. Keep reading for an inside look at what happens when a new model launches, what we test, and how we approach AI-powered software development at GitHub.
