GitHub ships HydraFusion Max, orchestrating Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 models into one response

unixterminal · x · 2026-10-24

GitHub's changelog details HydraFusion updates and a new HydraFusion Max tier (research preview) across VS Code, Copilot app and CLI. The multi-model orchestration now draws on Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Luna, tailors reasoning effort per stage (medium for drafts, high for review), adds a judging step to Cascade, and upgrades Critique to inspect real workspaces with parallel critic models. Max applies higher reasoning effort for frontier-level results at a fraction of the cost.
