From rough ideas to quality work. OpenAl's GPT-5.6 is rolling out across Microsoft 365 Copilot in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Chat, and Copilot Cowork. Optimized with OpenAl for knowledge work, GPT-5.6 is the preferred model for Microsoft 365 Copilot.

With stronger reasoning for complex, multi-step work, Copilot helps you move faster from rough ideas to stronger drafts, deeper analysis, richer presentations, and ready-to-use outputs.

Combined with Work IQ, Microsoft 365 apps, and enterprise-grade security, compliance, and privacy, Copilot brings frontier-model reasoning into Al built for work. Learn more:

Huge step for AI powered productivity. Bringing advanced models into tools people already use is how adoption moves from experiments into real world impact.

Exactly. When AI is built into the tools teams already use, it moves from something they try to something they rely on every day!

Thought you guys were removing OpenAI models for cheaper MAI? Can't make your mind up

Please add it to normal ordinary Copilot. It has been ages from chat-GPT 5.0 in smart mode.

🤣🤣 no. It’s rough ideas to “looks good to me” without even reading. This enables slop. THIS is why it’s Microslop

please please please just make this model the "Auto" model. its crazy how much worse the auto answers are compared to gpt-5.6

Microsoft to tha world

GPT 5.6 can only as well as its tool metadata allows it to describe what its good at and when not to use itself.

Great update! Excited to try the new features. 🚀

Just be a little careful with what model of 5.6 you choose. I tested ALL the models in Cowork you might be surprised with the results

Hey, when are you guys finally going to get rid of GPT completely? Hurry up. We absolutely do not need GPT — not even a little. Its very presence obstructs Copilot OS and nothing else. Why did you lower the OS’s priority? 😭 Please, either put the OS back at the top of the priority list, or just kick GPT out of Copilot. 😭
