Microsoft 365 Copilot extensibility: Declarative agents upgraded to GPT-5.1

Declarative agents upgraded to GPT-5.1
Microsoft 365 Copilot declarative agents now use the GPT-5.1 model with automatic model selection for performance and reasoning.
Details:
What changed:
Declarative agents now run on GPT-5.1 using "auto" architecture, which selects the best model (fast or reasoning-optimized) based on the user's prompt. This improves speed and quality. Note that as the agent uses the "Think deeper" mode to generate higher quality responses, users will experience a slightly higher latency.
Why:
The upgrade ensures declarative agents provide more accurate and detailed responses.
Try this:
Use a declarative agent to process complex queries.
Test scenarios that require fast responses versus deeper reasoning.
Why this matters:
Business impact:
Supports higher-quality automation and decision-making.
Personal impact:
Provides users with faster and more accurate responses.

Gemini 3.1 Pro: A smarter model for your most complex tasksWhat:Building on the Gemini 3 series, we’re releasing 3.1 Pro, a smarter and more capable model for complex problem-solving. 3.1 Pro is designed for tasks where a simple answer isn’t enough, taking advanced reasoning and making it useful for your hardest challenges. This improved intelligence can help in practical applications — whether you’re looking for a clear, visual explanation of a complex topic, a way to synthesize data into a single view, or a step-by-step plan bringing an ambitious creative project to life.3.1 Pro is rolling out globally to the Gemini app, with higher limits for users with Google AI Pro and Ultra plans. To access, select “Pro” in the model drop down.Why:We want to make Gemini the most helpful AI assistant for everyone. With the advanced reasoning of Gemini 3.1 Pro, you can now tackle your most complex projects with greater confidence.

Brand Impact

Google has upgraded its Gemini AI to a smarter version (3.1 Pro) that's better at handling complicated tasks like detailed analysis, data synthesis, and creative planning. This more powerful AI could favor brands and products that benefit from complex recommendations—such as enterprise software, premium creative tools, and data analytics platforms—since the AI now excels at multi-step reasoning. Conversely, brands relying on simple, quick answers may see less visibility, as the upgraded model prioritizes depth and nuance over brevity.

February 3, 2026:We made another small reduction to Standard thinking time based on testing.
February 4, 2026:We’re restoring theExtendedthinking level for GPT-5.2 Thinking to its prior setting, correcting the inadvertent reduction from January. Extended is now back to its prior level.
We periodically adjust the default thinking time for our reasoning models. These changes are based on ongoing experiments to find the best balance between answer quality and response speed for users.
Thethinking level toggleintroduced in September 2025 gives users more choice beyond Standard, allowing them to select the right thinking level for their question—whether they want lighter, faster responses or more extended reasoning when depth and accuracy matter more.
Thinking time is not directly comparable across different models. Each model is tuned independently to what works best for users. We’ll continue to adjust these settings as models evolve, and will keep giving users clear controls when there are meaningful tradeoffs to choose from.

Clarified information about the default file size limits for Googlebot

What
: While moving over the information about the default file size limits of
Google's crawlers and fetchers to the
crawler documentation
,
we also updated the
Googlebot documentation
about its own file size limits.
Why
: The original location of the default file size limits was not the most logical
place as it applies to all of Google's crawlers and fetchers, and the move enabled us to
be more precise about Googlebot's limits.

Brand Impact

Google has updated its documentation about web crawling file size limits, consolidating information to provide clearer guidance about how its search crawler processes different types of web content. This documentation change could subtly influence how websites structure their content to ensure optimal visibility and indexing by Google's search systems, potentially affecting which web pages and brands appear more prominently in search results.
