GitHub Releases Copilot SDK Tech Preview
GitHub has released the Copilot SDK in technical preview, enabling developers to programmatically access the agent runtime behind Copilot CLI. The SDK, available now on GitHub and supporting Python, TypeScript, Go, and .NET, handles planning, tool invocation, model routing, state, streaming, permissions, and failure modes. It requires an existing Copilot subscription, bills prompts to the premium quota, and supports BYOK for external LLM providers.
