As of July 30, 2026, GitHub Models has been fully retired. The playground, model catalog, inference API, and bring your own key (BYOK) are no longer available to any customer.

GitHub Models was a separate service from GitHub Copilot and is unrelated to GitHub Copilot services.

Where to go next

• For new and existing projects that need AI model access, Azure AI Foundry offers a broad model catalog.
• To build AI-powered workflows directly on GitHub, you can use GitHub Copilot, which gives you access to a range of models. For more information, see GitHub Copilot documentation.
