Microsoft has announced the availability of OpenAI’s GPT-5.1 models within Microsoft Copilot Studio, offered as experimental options for U.S. customers using early release cycle Power Platform environments. The GPT-5.1 series provides enhanced adaptability in both chat interactions and reasoning tasks, allowing users to explore improved performance across a range of scenarios.
These experimental models give organizations the opportunity to test emerging AI capabilities before they move to general availability. Microsoft encourages customers to evaluate the models in non-production environments, comparing their performance with existing models to understand how they may support future deployments. This phased approach is designed to help businesses prepare for broader adoption while Microsoft continues conducting quality assessments.
Copilot Studio serves as Microsoft’s platform for building, customizing, and managing AI-powered agents. It supports the creation of autonomous workflows and long-form task handling to enhance employee productivity. Thousands of companies currently use the platform to orchestrate and oversee AI agents across business processes.
