GitHub Copilot cloud agent now starts over 20% faster due to optimized runner environments built with GitHub Actions custom images. When an issue is assigned to Copilot, a task is started from the Agents tab, or @copilot is mentioned in a PR, the prebuilt custom image reduces startup overhead significantly. This follows a 50% startup improvement shipped in March, continuing to shorten the feedback loop for AI-assisted coding workflows.
