Copilot4DevOps V7.0
October 2025
General
New Features
1. Introduction of the GPT-5 Model Family
We’ve expanded Copilot4DevOps with support for OpenAI’s latest GPT-5 model, delivering enhanced reasoning, faster response times, and greater accuracy across complex DevOps scenarios. This upgrade provides teams with state-of-the-art AI capabilities to streamline workflows, improve decision-making, and unlock new levels of productivity.
2. Multilingual Support for Enhanced Accessibility
To better support our diverse user community, Copilot4DevOps now includes full multilingual support. Users can switch the interface language directly within the application, enabling global teams to collaborate more effectively without language barriers.
With this update, the assistant is no longer limited to English; it now supports:
- Spanish
- French
- German
- Portuguese (Brazil & Portugal)
- Chinese (Simplified & Traditional)
- Arabic
- Japanese
- Norwegian
Not only does the user interface adapt to the selected language, but the responses are also generated in that language, ensuring a fully localized experience from navigation to interaction.
This enhancement improves accessibility, inclusivity, and productivity by allowing teams worldwide to:
- Interact with Copilot4DevOps and receive responses in their native
- Reduce misunderstandings and translation overhead when working with requirements, test cases, or
- Ensure smoother collaboration across distributed and multilingual
Enhancements
1. Side Panel Support in Backlogs and Sprints
This release introduces a right-side panel in the Backlogs and Sprints (Backlog tab only) views, designed to provide seamless access to Copilot4DevOps features without leaving the current context. The side panel is fully integrated into existing workflows. It can be toggled from View Option menu.
The panel works with both single and multi-selection of work items; however, when multiple items are selected, only the last selected item is used as context for the AI Edit only, the AI Edit feature remains limited to single selection only. The panel provides quick access to Chat and AI Edit, with context passed from the selected work item(s).
- Chat
The Chat panel opens in the same way as the central chat feature, with all options available. But, chat history is not retained in this side view. Once a user clicks on another work item, the chat associated with the previous work item is cleared. This ensures that the panel always reflects the most relevant context. - AI Edit
The AI Edit panel functions similarly to the full-panel AI Edit view, but with a simplified workflow. Instead of a Save & Close button, only a Save button is provided. If the AI Edit panel is open and edits have been made, a confirmation popup appears with the message: “Changes you made may not be saved. Do you want to save your changes?” along with Yes and No options. Choosing Yes saves the changes before switching, while No discards them. If no changes are made, the system transitions to the next work item without prompting.
2. UI Redesign
This release introduces a redesigned Home Page UI focused on improving clarity, consistency, and usability. In the new design, subtle yet meaningful visual enhancements have been introduced. The overall color scheme has been refreshed, with distinct colors for feature cards and an updated color for the “Learn More” link to improve visibility.
The “View Options” menu now serves as a central place for accessing key functions.
- On the Home page, it now includes Smart Prompt, Text Block Management, and News and Tips, along with other existing options.
- The Chat and Chat Hub sections have also been updated to follow this structure, ensuring consistency across the interface.
- In areas where the View Options icon did not previously exist, it has now been added, consolidating related settings under a single menu without changing any existing functionality.
Bug Fixes
Chat
Enhancements
1. Wiki CRUD Support
This release introduces support for creating, reading, updating, and deleting Wiki pages directly within the chat feature. Previously, managing Wikis required navigating outside of chat, but with this enhancement, users can now perform all core Wiki operations seamlessly without leaving their conversation. The user can enter “!” to display a list of available Wikis and select one to perform operations on the chosen Wiki
The feature has been tested in real scenarios, including creating and updating Wiki pages from chat, reading Wikis to reference best practices, and updating work items based on Wiki content. This enhancement ensures smoother collaboration by making documentation and knowledge sharing accessible directly in chat, reducing context switching and improving productivity.
2. Concurrent Chat Support
This release enhances the chat feature by introducing concurrent usage support. Previously, users had to wait for a response to finish before moving to another chat. With this update, users can now continue working across multiple chats seamlessly — for example, starting a new or existing chat while another response is still being generated, without disrupting the ongoing process.
To keep users informed, once the background chat response is completed, the system provides a notification in the top-right corner indicating that the response for that chat has finished. This improvement streamlines multitasking, reduces waiting time, and ensures a smoother experience when working with multiple conversations.

Bug Fixes
Copilot4DevOps in Modern Requirements4DevOps
New Feature
1. Mandatory Fields Validation for Work Item Creation
To improve data completeness and ensure smoother work item creation, Copilot4DevOps now supports mandatory field detection and validation when creating work items.
With this new feature, the system automatically retrieves and displays all required Azure DevOps fields (including custom fields defined in process templates or business rules) before a work item is created. Key capabilities include:
- Mandatory Fields Panel
- A dedicated panel highlights all required fields, with appropriate input controls such as textboxes, dropdowns, date pickers, and boolean selectors.
- Inline validation ensures missing fields are flagged with a ! warning indicator until
- Creation Blocking Logic
- The Create / Publish / Create Linked Work Item button remains disabled until all required fields are filled.

SOP / Document Generator
Enhancement
1. Word Template Support
This release introduces an important enhancement to the module. Previously, when users clicked the Save As button to export a document as Word or PDF, the file was generated directly without any user input. Now, with the new update, a ‘Select Word Template’ popup appears before generation, allowing users to choose a template for their document.
Users can select from default templates or their own uploaded templates, or even upload a new one at the time of export with a button ‘Select files…’ from a popup. Once selected, the document is generated upon clicking the OK button, following the chosen template’s formatting.
The feature also provides the ability to manage templates: uploaded templates can be deleted with confirmation, and duplicate uploads are restricted with clear message.
Change Request
1. Generate button
The button order has been updated for better clarity and usability. Now, “Generate” appears as the main button, while “Generate with Q&A” is moved to the dropdown menu. This change makes the primary document generation option more visible and aligns with common user behavior for faster access.

Admin Panel
Enhancements
1. Enhancement in Admin Settings – LLM Tab
This release introduces an enhancement to the Admin Settings within the LLM tab. Previously, the AI Service dropdown was limited to service-specific options (e.g., AzureAI, OpenAI). With this update, a new option called “Across different LLMs” has been added in the Default LLM section, enabling a unified and platform-independent model selection experience.
When selected, this option displays a consolidated model list that lists all available models from different providers such as AzureAI, OpenAI. Each model is shown with its name, provider, and the list is neatly sorted alphabetically for easier navigation. By default, when “Use default LLM” is selected, the system automatically preselects all models, ensuring comprehensive coverage without requiring manual configuration.
2. Multiple Recommended Models per Function
This release enhances the way models are displayed for Copilot functions by introducing conditional logic for recommended models. When a function has only one best-fit model, it will be shown directly, maintaining the current behavior without a dropdown.
If a function supports multiple best-fit models, a dropdown will now appear with only those ranked, recommended models, with the highest-priority model preselected. Users can switch between these recommended options but cannot select from the full global list.
Bug Fixes
Copilot4DevOps V6.0
June 2025
General
Change Request
1. Display the Configured AI Service in the Custom Instructions Panel.
The Custom Instructions panel now shows the AI service configured by the Admin, helping users identify which AI provider. This change improves visibility and ensures alignment in environments with multiple AI services configured.
Enhancements
1. Improved AI Performance and Response Quality
The AI in Copilot4DevOps is now dramatically faster and significantly more accurate. You’ll notice major improvements in how quickly and precisely the AI understands your inputs, provides suggestions, and executes tasks.
This upgrade brings real, measurable impact:
- Faster turnaround times across all AI-assisted
- More intelligent and context-aware responses, with more accurate results on the first try.
- Smoother workflows with minimal delays or
- Significant performance improvements in document upload and BYOD workflows – AI now analyzes uploaded files faster and generates higher-quality outputs with better context relevance.
- Enhanced Setup Elicitation – faster processing and improved results when extracting requirements from uploaded documentation.
- Support for more document types – You can now upload and process a wider variety of files, including Excel (xls, .xlsx), Comma Separated Value (.csv), Structured Query Language (.sql), and XML (.xml), making it easier to work with structured data across your DevOps workflows.
2. Upload File(s) – Enhanced Functionality Across Copilot Functions (Mockup, Diagram, SOP/Document Generator)
The “Upload file(s)” feature is now integrated into all three existing Copilot functions: Mockup, Diagram, and SOP/Document Generator. You’ll see this option on the UI next to the “Rewrite Prompt” button, making it easy for users to include attachments as part of their prompt or task flow.
Upload Interaction Flow
When users click on the “Upload file(s)” button, a popup window appears. Inside this popup, there’s an “Upload Attachment” option that allows users to select and attach any supported file types. Once a file is uploaded, the user can close the popup by clicking the “OK” button. After closing the popup, all uploaded files will be visibly listed just below the Rewrite Prompt and Upload file(s) buttons, making it clear what’s attached to the current session.
If a user uploads a file by mistake, they can easily remove it using the “X” (cross) icon. This removal option is available both inside the popup as well as after the popup has been closed, providing flexibility and control throughout the process.
How Uploaded File(s) Influence Responses
When a user attaches supported files using this flow, the content of those attachments becomes part of the response context. This means the system takes into account both the uploaded documents and the prompt provided, along with any related Work Item(s) data, to generate a more accurate and informed output.
Function Specific Behavior
- In Mockup: The Mockup now supports a refined file upload experience, enabling users to attach image files directly to their prompt flow for greater creative control. When uploading files via the new “Upload file(s)” button, users can choose how the images should be used: either as references or for recreation. These options are presented as radio buttons above the prompt area, each with helpful tooltips. By default, “Pass image(s) as reference” is selected and disabled, ensuring a safe baseline. If only image files are uploaded, both options become available, allowing users to switch to “Use image(s) to recreate.” However, if any non-image files are included, the system disables the recreation option and locks in the reference mode. For enhanced flexibility, each uploaded image generates a separate prompt, allowing Copilot to process and respond to each one independently. This update ensures a more intuitive, accurate, and visually guided mockup creation process.
- In Diagram: Uploaded files will be treated as reference material.
- In SOP/Document Generator: The functionality works just as described above, with one exception — image files are not supported in this function. This is because the model recommended for generating SOPs and documents does not currently support processing image inputs.
3. Dynamic AI Model Switching Based on BYOD Toggle
The Use BYOD toggle in Copilot4DevOps now dynamically switches the AI model used for responses, based on the configuration defined in the Admin Panel’s AI Model Auto Selection and Ranking settings. Previously, toggling BYOD ON or OFF did not affect the selected AI model. With this enhancement:
- The AI model updates in real-time based on BYOD
- Model selection is now fully aligned with admin-configured preferences for BYOD ON and OFF
- End users gain increased transparency and consistency when switching between data modes during AI-assisted operations.
This improves trust and predictability in how the assistant behaves under different data contexts.
Chat
Copilot4DevOps Chat is now available as a dedicated hub under the Boards section in Azure DevOps.
We are pleased to announce that Copilot Chat can now be accessed separately as a dedicated hub within Azure DevOps. A new entry point titled “Copilot4DevOps” has been added under the Boards section of the navigation menu. By selecting this option, users will be able to launch the Copilot Chat interface immediately, without needing to initiate it from an individual work item.
Key Differences in Context Handling
The primary distinction when launching Copilot Chat from this module-level location is that no specific work item is set as the default context. As a result, if you wish to interact with Copilot in relation to a particular work item, you must first manually retrieve the details of that item within the chat interface itself. This can typically be done by providing the work item ID or using natural language prompts to reference the item.
Consistent Functionality
Aside from the difference in how context is initialized, the functionality of the chat remains consistent with the existing Copilot popup experience. Users will still benefit from the same intelligent assistance, response generation, and integration capabilities as before.
Enhancements
Navigation options from the Chat interface are now dynamically provided based on the chat response
We’ve enhanced a consistent and user-friendly format for all work item creation requests and the mermaid diagram creation made through Chat interface. This update makes it easier to view, access, and manage work items directly from the chat interface.
- Each created work item will now display two actionable icons before the Work Item ID/Title
- Open in Module Icon ‘ ’ this icon provides a gateway to further manage the created work item. Upon clicking, a list of Copilot functions available where you can choose what use case to create on this work item and which operation to By selecting the appropriate function, you can further manage your created work item under that specific use case.
- AI Edit Icon ‘’ simply click this icon to use AI assistance for improving the content or making adjustments before finalizing.
- Whenever a user creates a diagram, an option appears at the top-right corner of the created diagram in the chat response.
- Diagram icon ‘’ clicking on the diagram icon or option open the generated diagram directly in the Diagram module, where the user can update it or perform any operations as needed.
- Each created work item will now display two actionable icons before the Work Item ID/Title
2. Support Copy & Paste functionality for Images, and Files
Chat now supports seamless copy & paste for images and documents. Paste screenshots/images or files directly into the chat — image previews and file cards will appear instantly, and attachments are automatically included when you send. Unsupported file types will trigger a clear message, making sharing content faster and more intuitive than ever.
3. Ask Chat
As part of our ongoing effort to make the Chat interface more intuitive and user-friendly, we’ve enhanced
it with a new way to engage with specific content through the Ask Chat interaction. This enhancement
allows you to instantly reference any content on the screen by simply selecting it and sending it as a quoted message to the chat. Whether you’re seeking clarification, elaboration, or deeper insight into specific terms or phrases.
With this feature, when you highlight a word, phrase, or sentence anywhere on the interface, a floating “Ask Chat” button appears near your selection. This button, marked with a quotation icon, is your shortcut to generating a context-aware query. Clicking it will automatically insert the selected text into the chat message/prompt area, formatted as a quote. You can then continue typing your message beneath the quote — for example:
“tell me more about this feature”
Once submitted, the chat receives both the quote and your question, helping the system provide a much more accurate and relevant response. You no longer need to copy and paste or manually reference the content you’re asking about — the context flows naturally and clearly.
4. Updated Left Panel UI
User can now experience a better UI, as we’ve updated the left panel layout to make navigation simpler and more intuitive:
- The Copilot logo now replaces the old ‘Hide’ button on the left
- The ‘Hide’ option has been moved to the right side of the
- ‘New Chats’ and ‘Search’ have been moved above the tabs and filter dropdowns for easier access. Even when the left panel is collapsed, these key options will still be visible in a compact view, ensuring quick access without expanding the These changes are aimed at delivering a cleaner interface and smoother user experience.
Bug Fixes

Mockup
Change Request
1. Theme Selection Option Removed
The manual theme selection option has been removed. Going forward, mockups will be automatically generated based on the theme inferred by the LLM from the user’s prompt. Alternatively, users can define their own theme directly in the prompt or upload an image or file to serve as a design reference.
Enhancements
1. “Save as image” now exports as PNG
The “Save as Image” functionality has been enhanced to improve compatibility and usability. Previously saved in SVG format, images will now be exported as PNG by default. This change ensures broader support across platforms and makes it easier for users to share and use generated visuals in various applications.
2. Mockup Generation Update
An important update to the mockup generation feature. With this release, mockups will now be presented primarily as static modal popups. These modal popups will display the intended designs, allowing users to preview the mockup layouts in a more visually accurate way. However, please note that the modal popups will remain non-interactive for now. This limitation is due to the penetration and security work conducted to ensure the reliability and safety of our platform.

Admin Panel
Change Request
1. Hide Functionality for Copilot4DevOps Functions Configuration
Previously, users could configure which Copilot4DevOps functions to display on the Home Page and Breadcrumb by selecting them in the Configure Copilot4DevOps Functions section of the Admin Panel in the General tab.
With this update, the functionality has been enhanced to allow hiding specific functions instead. A new label—”Select function(s) to hide from the Home Page“—is now displayed below the Configure Copilot4DevOps Functions heading. By default, all functions remain visible. When functions are selected, they will be hidden from both the Home Page and the Breadcrumb navigation, giving admins finer control over the user interface.
2. Automatic AI Model Selection Based on AI Service.
Previously, users could manually select or deselect individual AI Models after choosing an AI Service from the LLM tab.
With this update, AI Model selection is now automated. When a user selects an AI Service, all associated AI Models are automatically selected and displayed as pre-selected. Manual selection or deselection of individual models is no longer permitted, ensuring consistency and reducing configuration errors.
3. Auto-Selection of Recommended AI Models in Admin Panel
Previously, users had to manually select the General tab of the Admin panel to configure the recommended AI Models.
With this update, Recommended AI Models will now be automatically selected the first time a user accesses the Admin Panel. The selection is driven by the configured token services and follows a predefined priority list for each feature, streamlining the initial setup process and ensuring optimal default recommendations. Subsequent changes can still be made manually if needed.

Copilot4DevOps V5
April 2025
General
New Features
1. Rewrite prompt – structured user instruction/prompts
Copilot4DevOps now includes a “Rewrite Prompt” feature that refines user prompts into clearer, more structured formats. It’s available across all key modules and custom instruction fields, with an icon that activates when text is present. The rewritten prompt is then used to generate results. Additionally, the Admin Panel allows the selection of a single AI model for this feature under a new “Configure AI Model for Rewrite Prompt” section.
Enhancements
1. Optimized Copilot4DevOps Window Load Time
Enhanced the user experience by optimizing the load time of the Copilot4DevOps window, resulting in faster access and improved overall responsiveness.
2. Work item navigation enhancement
A new icon 
has been added in Copilot4DevOps to enhance navigation and work item context selection. It appears next to work item titles in both single- and multi-select functions and in the Dynamic Prompt toolbar when the context isn’t set to Query. Clicking the icon opens a drop-down to select existing work items—one in single-select mode or multiple in multi-select mode. Selected items anchor future actions and are shown at the top of the Home Page, enabling easy switching across features.
3. Text Block Management - System Text Block
The “System Text Block” tab, now in the third position, contains read-only system prompts that users can reuse, just like “My Text Block” and “Shared Text Block.” However, the “System Text Block” can only be reused with these \\\, and users can clone it into “My Text Block” or “Shared Text Block” for editing if they want. Cloning is allowed between these two tabs but not back to the “System Text Block”
4. Enhanced 'Given Input' dropdown for non-HTML field support
The “Given Input” dropdown now supports both standard and custom non-HTML fields in addition to HTML fields. All fields are alphabetically sorted and include a search feature, making it easier for users to find and select the right field. This enhancement spans multiple Copilot4DevOps functions—such as Elicit, Analyze, and Diagram—ensuring a consistent and more flexible user experience.
5. Support for Multi-Level Query Hierarchies Across All Functions
Copilot4DevOps now supports query hierarchies with unlimited depth presented in alphabetical order across all supported functions. This enhancement enables the seamless handling of deeply nested queries, ensuring clarity, consistency, and full visibility when working with complex work item structures.
6. Custom Instruction Icon with Indicator for Added Text
The Custom Instruction Icon now displays a green tick when text is added, making it easy to identify updated instructions and improving clarity and usability.
Bug Fixes
Chat
We’re excited to roll out the new Chat function in Copilot4DevOps, designed to boost productivity with a conversational interface that lets users perform CRUD operations on work items, links, and queries directly through chat. Available with an Ultimate license, the chat supports real-time collaboration, code and diagram generation, file attachments (up to 10 per prompt), and easy management of personal and shared chats. The left panel organizes chats with filter options for “My Chats” and “Shared Chats” tabs along with options to rename, move, delete, or search conversations. Chats older than 30 days automatically move to the “Old Chats” folder.
The center panel offers system prompts to speed up common tasks, a smart input area with commands like `/` for file attachments, `@` to mention team members, `#` for work item references, and `*` for using queries. Responses are formatted in Markdown with clickable links, and users can copy, or save responses as Word or PDF files. The interface also supports Mermaid diagrams and syntax-highlighted code blocks, all downloadable. Users can select AI models, toggle BYOD, and apply custom instructions.
Note: Chat is not supported for o3 models when using AzureAI.
Mockup
Mockup in Copilot4DevOps lets users generate interactive UI mockups from text prompts and work item context, streamlining design iterations. The Prompt tab offers theme selection, prompt input, and work item context, while the Result tab displays editable mockups with page navigation and refinement options. Users can publish to existing or new work items or export as SVG/HTML—making UI design faster, collaborative, and easy to document.

It provides license-based responses, ensuring users only access features within their subscriptions. Users can apply recommendations, regenerate responses, provide feedback, and copy answers. The feature maintains session continuity and includes “Apply” and “Apply & Generate” options for seamless interaction with AI-driven suggestions.
Elicit
New Features
1. Setup Elicitation Option Under Elicit Function
A new “Setup Elicitation” option under the Elicit function offers a pop-up where users can select, change, or remove a work item and optionally include its parent description. They can also add contextual details and up to five file attachments (total size limit of 350KB). The “Apply across elicitation” setting carries these details and attachments throughout the process. If no work item is chosen but details are entered, Elicit uses that text instead, hiding certain features like “Given Input” and “Existing Links.” These enhancements make it easier to incorporate context and attachments, streamlining the elicitation workflow.
Please refer to the linked Word document for detailed validation of file size limits and attachment behavior within the ‘Setup Elicitation’ workflow.
2. Magic Edit option in Elicit
Magic Edit, available in the Elicit feature’s right panel, brings interactive inline editing and advanced refinement tools to Copilot4DevOps. It offers smart options like Suggest Edits, Change Length, Polish, and Reading Level to enhance tone, clarity, and structure. Users can format content, track version history, and review changes, making Elicit a powerful workspace for customizing work item fields.
NOTE: Refer to the Magic Edit section for details.
SOP/Document Generator
Change Request
1. Generate SOPs and Documents faster with minimal input in one simple step.
The enhanced SOP/Document Generator in Copilot4DevOps simplifies structured document creation. Previously, the process involved two steps — first generating a Table of Contents (TOC), followed by the document itself based on the TOC and user inputs. Now, with the improved flow, users can generate the entire document directly using just a prompt, significantly reducing effort and time. Users should mandatorily input prompts in the Prompt tab, along with optional fields like Document Type/Title and Reference Work Items, then select Generate for output. The Results tab displays the complete generated document, allowing users to make further edits by updating the prompt in the input area below and regenerating before saving it as a Microsoft Word or PDF file.
Enhancements
1. Split Generate Button With 'Generate with Q&A' Button in SOP/Document Generator
The Generate button offers two options: Generate, which instantly creates a document based on the provided prompt, and Generate with Q&A, which first generates AI-driven questions for user input to refine the document. Once an option is selected, users are redirected to the Results tab, where the document is generated based on the given details in the Prompt tab or Question-Answers.
Bug Fixes
Diagram
New Features
1. Select Diagram Type window:
The new “Select Diagram Type” panel offers a full-screen, visual selection experience with preview tiles and hover-based explanations—making diagram creation faster and more intuitive.
2. Contextual Default Prompts – Auto-Generated Per Diagram
Selecting a diagram type auto-fills a tailored prompt, providing a relevant starting point with instant guidance and clarity.
Enhancements
1. Curated Diagram List – Top 10 Formats Only
To enhance usability, the diagram list is streamlined to the top 10 most-used formats—offering quick access to high-impact types without overwhelming users, while covering a broad range of needs.
2. Publish to existing the diagram in the same work item
When republishing to the same work item, only the diagram content is replaced, and the ‘Replace selected’ option is removed.
3. Diagram Function – BYOD and AzureAI o3 Model Support Handling
Diagram does not support BYOD—if Data Retrieval is checked, the BYOD toggle is disabled with a message; if unchecked, the Diagram tile is fully disabled. For AzureAI, Diagram isn’t supported with o3 models— selecting only o3-mini disables the Diagram tile with a message, while selecting all models auto-disables o3-mini to prevent conflicts.
Bug Fixes
Generate
New Features
1. “User Specified” Option for Custom Language/Framework Input
A new “User specified” option is now available in the Programming Language/Framework dropdowns in both the Pseudocode and Test Script sections. When selected, a required, yellow-highlighted textbox appears for users to enter their custom language or framework. The Generate button is disabled until a valid input is provided. Previously entered values are retained when switching between options, streamlining the experience for users with non-standard tech stacks.
Enhancements
1. COBOL Added to Pseudocode Language Support
The Pseudocode section now includes COBOL as a supported programming language. This enhancement expands coverage for legacy systems and enables users to generate COBOL-compatible pseudocode, increasing the tool’s utility across more use cases.
Bug Fixes
Admin Panel
New Features
1. AI Model Prioritization and Auto-Selection
Copilot4DevOps now auto-selects the highest-ranked AI model for each function to ensure top-quality outputs. A new “Auto-Select AI Model” toggle appears in the Home Page settings, with its default behavior controlled by the Admin Panel. Admins can rank models per function in a new section under the General tab, using a configurable table linked to models from the LLM tab. This feature balances consistent AI performance with user customization where allowed.
2. Support for o3-Mini in LLM tab
Added support for the o3-mini model with selectable reasoning types: Low, Medium, and High. Users can now choose the desired reasoning level from the AI Models drop-down in the LLM tab, enabling more control over response depth and performance based on query complexity
Enhancements
1. Enhanced model compatibility for BYOD with ‘Azure AI’
We’ve improved the compatibility of o3 models with the ‘AzureAI’ service in the LLM tab and the Data Retrieval toggle in the BYOD tab. If an o3 model is selected first, users will be notified to select a 4o model to enable the toggle. If the toggle is enabled before selecting a model, users will be prompted to select a 4o model or disable the toggle upon saving the AI Service with the o3 models in the LLM tab.
o3-mini models are disabled when the BYOD toggle is active in the main Copilot window, with a tooltip explanation. Users cannot activate the toggle in the man Copilot window if these models are selected.
An info icon next to o3 models indicates their incompatibility with BYOD.
The linked Excel document provides a detailed validation of feature compatibility across modules for OpenAI and Azure AI models, covering both BYOD ON and OFF configurations.
