GitHub has detailed how Copilot improves context handling and model routing to make each token more useful. The company says the changes are meant to help user credits go further during coding sessions.
The focus is important because coding assistants can waste context on irrelevant files, repeated information, or poorly routed model calls. Better context selection can improve both cost and answer quality.
As AI coding tools mature, efficiency is becoming a product feature. Teams want agents that spend tokens on the right code and choose the right model for each step.
