HydraFusion: quality and cost tradeoffs across three coding tests
HydraFusion studies coding with multiple models and reports completion-rate and cost tradeoffs across three evaluations.
Study how models can share coding work
HydraFusion is GitHub’s multi-model orchestration research preview for Copilot. It coordinates models on coding tasks in controlled offline evaluations, comparing overall quality and estimated cost.

Three comparisons with different trade-offs
Against Opus 5, TerminalBench 2.1 gained 4.9 percentage points in quality with 67% lower estimated cost. DeepSWE lost 1.5 points with 36% lower estimated cost; CheckpointBench lost 0.1 points with 65% lower estimated cost.
Estimated cost fell in all three tests, while quality rose in one and fell in two. The numbers depend on the model configuration, benchmark and pricing assumptions; they are not actual bill estimates. The method remains a research preview.
