Reasoning Models in Microsoft Copilot: Who’s Doing the Thinking?
- Jul 03, 2025
Thanks AndreThiemannMS for this!
This is highly important, since it is currently not transparent for users which model is behind a capability. I think this could be part of the Copilot UI. This is certainly feedback worth sharing with Microsoft.
Great article.
Please explain why the free versions of Copilot do not all offer the same functionality?
For example, the Copilot App in Windows 11, the sidebar in Edge, and the WebApp at https://copilot.microsoft.com do not all offer that same functionality, and furthermore they are not all in sync - despite the user having signed into them with the same Microsoft account?
For example:
I do not see chat history in all Copilots.
I do not see chat history sync'd.

Well, that's just my guess.
Microsoft originally worked on different products.
Bing Chat Enterprise, Copilot in Microsoft 365, and Copilot for personal use were roughly the names back then.
I'm quite certain that these will be gradually consolidated. This will happen in parallel with the further development of the individual Copilots and their better integration into the various tools. The free version also serves as an appetizer for the larger paid version.- AndrewBettanyJul 04, 2025Brass Contributor
Thanks.
A recent comment i heard from a large enterprise customer was concerning. They were unhappy that the free versions have lost their visible 30 interaction/token limit but that the enterprise version still has this limitation visible.
