GitHub Copilot Fusion scores 2 points below Opus 5.5 at about half the cost per task

According to a post on X by @ArtificialAnlys, Artificial Analysis says GitHub Copilot Fusion scores 2 points below Opus 5.5 in Claude Code on its Coding Agent Index, at roughly half the cost per task. The post also says GitHub open-sourced Replica, an MIT-licensed AI prototyping tool from GitHub Design. The headline describes Copilot Fusion as routing between Anthropic and OpenAI models. The snippet does not include the exact cost figures or further benchmark details, so those would need checking against the original source.
