Copilot for Business and Pro can run third‑party coding agents, enabling Claude and Codex integrations

- GitHub expanded Copilot for Business and Pro subscribers to run third‑party coding agents, integrating Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s Codex inside its environment. - Reviews and guides (Verdent, Tom’s Guide) emphasise that agent choice depends on setup, session handling, pricing, and fit for beginners versus power users, while CloudZero released a Claude Enterprise analytics adapter for cost visibility. - The market is shifting from novelty to platform choice driven by workflow fit, governance boundaries, and spend observability.
