Grok Code Fast 1 Now Available

GitHub has made Grok Code Fast 1 generally available to Copilot Free plan users. The model is now part of the automated model selection feature, meaning Copilot will intelligently choose it when appropriate for your coding tasks.

Where It's Available

The model is accessible through the Auto option in GitHub Copilot Chat across multiple development environments:

• Visual Studio Code
• Visual Studio
• JetBrains IDEs
• Xcode
• Eclipse

What This Means for Developers

With this release, Copilot Free users now have access to an expanded set of models that the system can automatically select from based on the task at hand. The auto model selection feature handles model choice transparently, allowing developers to focus on their coding without manually switching between different models.

Next Steps

For complete information about available models and their capabilities, refer to the GitHub Copilot models documentation. Users are encouraged to share feedback about their experience with the new model in the GitHub Community discussions.
