OpenCode is now officially compatible with the GitHub Copilot subscription, expanding the set of tools available through Copilot’s paid tiers.
What this change covers
- OpenCode support for GitHub Copilot is now in place, allowing workflows that rely on OpenCode to be integrated with Copilot’s subscription-based model.
- Copilot’s paid plans start at $10, and subscribers gain access to a wide choice of models, including unlimited access to gpt-5-mini and Microsoft’s raptor mini.
Important caveat about usage
A practical detail worth noting is how the integration handles context summarization. When Copilot summarizes the surrounding context for these interactions, it issues several additional requests that are treated as if they were initiated by the user rather than by the agent. This behavior has the effect of consuming the Copilot usage quota much faster than a single request would.
Developer implications
The combination of model access and OpenCode compatibility brings more flexibility for projects that already use Copilot’s subscription models. At the same time, the summarized-context behavior introduces a clear trade-off: broader model access may come with higher-than-expected consumption of allotted requests. Monitoring usage under this integration will be important for managing subscription limits.
