The "multiplier" on Github Copilot went from 3 to 7.5. Nice to see that it is actually only 20-30% and Microsoft wanting to lose money slightly slower.

Yep, and I just made a recommendation that was essentially "never enable Opus 4.7" to my org as a direct result. We have Opus 4.6 (3x) and Opus 4.5 (3x) enabled currently. They are worth it for planning.

At 7.5x for 4.7, heck no. It isn't even clear it is an upgrade over Opus 4.6.

7.5 is promotional rate, it will go up to 25. And in May you will be switched to per token billing.

Opus 4.5 and 4.6 will be removed very soon.

So what is your contingency plan?

Are you saying github copilot is switching to a per token billing model? If so, you have a link to that?

Can you link to a source for anything you're claiming?

https://github.blog/changelog/2026-04-16-claude-opus-4-7-is-...

> Over the coming weeks, Opus 4.7 will replace Opus 4.5 and Opus 4.6 in the model picker for Copilot Pro+.

> This model is launching with a 7.5× premium request multiplier as part of promotional pricing until April 30th

TBF, it's a rumour that they are switching to per-token price in May, but it's from an insider (apparently), and seeing how good of a deal the current per-request pricing is, everyone expects them to bump prices sometime soon or switch to per-token pricing.

		The per-request pricing is ridiculous (in a good way, for the user). You can get so much done on a single prompt if you build the right workflow. I'm sure they'll change it soon

Microsoft are going to be removing Opus 4.5 and 4.6 from Copilot soon so I'd enjoy the lower cost while it lasts.

in copilot I find it hard to justify using opus at even 3x vs just using GPT 5.4 high at 1x

		I went from plan with opus, implement with claude, to simply plan and implement with GPT 5.4 It's a very good model for a very good price

I don't know how you guys are not seeing 4.7 as an upgrade, it just does so much more, so much better. I guess lower complexity tasks are saturated though.

		Anecdotally, been leaning on 4.6 heavily, and today 4.7 hallucinated on some agentic research it was doing. Not seen it do that before. When pushed it did the 'ol "whoopsie, silly me"; turned out the hallucination had been flagged by the agent and ignored by Opus. Makes it hard to trust it, which sucks as it's a heavy part of my workflow.

This article is only about the tokenizer. It doesn't measure the number of tokens needed for each request, which could be higher or lower overall.

Opus 4.6 also just got dumber. It's dismissive, hand-wavy, jumps to conclusions way too quickly, skips reasoning... Bubble is going to burst, either some big breakthrough comes up or we are going to see a very fast enshittificafion.
