Overview

This PR updates the course content to reflect recent Copilot CLI model availability (v1.0.88+, released September 21-27, 2026).

Changes Made

Chapter 01: First Steps

  • Updated the /model section to include current model examples: Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Sol, and GPT-6 Luna
  • Updated the premium request tip to mention Claude Opus 5.5 as a default option
  • Enhanced clarity on model availability for beginners learning about model selection

Why These Updates

Recent Copilot CLI releases (v1.0.88, v1.0.89-x) added:

  1. Claude Opus 5.5 - A new high-capability Claude model
  2. GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna - New OpenAI GPT-6 variants

These models are now available in Copilot CLI's model picker and should be reflected in the course to ensure:

  • Beginners see current examples of available options
  • Documentation stays current with CLI capabilities
  • Users understand the breadth of models available by their subscription tier

Testing Notes

  • No functional changes to code examples
  • All code blocks remain copy-paste ready
  • Model names are accurate as of v1.0.88 stable release (Sept 22, 2026)
  • Content remains beginner-friendly and doesn't over-specify tool behavior
