Gemini 2.5 Pro available for paying GitHub Copilot users

Those who pay for GitHub Copilot Pro, Pro+, Business, or Enterprise now have access to Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro model. The question is whether users will be enthusiastic about it. The reason: users can already access Gemini freely and in a larger variety of ways than GitHub Copilot allows for. Despite the fact that Gemini 2.5 Pro is Google's most powerful model, the general consensus seems to be that Claude Sonnet 4 performs faster, smarter, and more consistently when it comes to coding.

MCP in Visual Studio is GA but researchers warn of risks

Product manager Allie Barrie said that Visual Studio can now connect to local or remote MCP servers, configured using a file called .mcp.json which can be in a user profile, for global use, or in an individual solution. Developers can add MCP servers either by editing this file directly, or using settings in the GitHub Copilot chat window. There is also provision for one-click installation from the web. OAuth authentication is supported, for example to allow the MCP tools to have GitHub access.
