Copilot Fusion can now route work to MAI Code 1.1 Flash running locally on your machine
In experimental preview since Oct 28, Fusion Standard in Copilot CLI, the Copilot app and VS Code can hand eligible tasks to a local model, with managed MAI Code 1.1 Flash download on Windows (NVIDIA GPU, 96 GB RAM) or any OS via a local OpenAI-compatible server running MAI Code 1.1 Flash or Qwen3.8 Flash Next. Local calls don't use GitHub AI Credits, but routing still happens in the cloud, so sessions aren't offline.
