Microsoft is rumored to be developing a “Smart” mode for Copilot, potentially leveraging the anticipated GPT-5 model from OpenAI. This new mode aims to intelligently discern when a query requires in-depth reasoning and when a rapid response is sufficient. This suggests a significant upgrade in Copilot’s ability to understand and address user needs effectively.
OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, has previously hinted that GPT-5 will merge the capabilities of the GPT and o-series models, promising a leap forward in AI reasoning. The integration of such a powerful model into Copilot could drastically improve its performance and utility. However, the report indicates that this “Smart” mode is currently unavailable to users, implying ongoing development and testing. The unveiling of this feature will likely be highly anticipated by users of Microsoft products.
