Python developers on the OpenAI SDK can adopt the new model and storage options and pick up the retry and WebSocket fixes; pin and test before rolling the upgrade into production services.

Claude Opus 5.5 is available in GitHub Copilot across VS Code, Visual Studio, CLI, coding agent, app, mobile, JetBrains, Xcode, and Eclipse.
