## Summary

GitHub Models is being fully retired on July 30, 2026. This affects all customers — the playground, model catalog, inference API, and BYOK endpoints will all be shut down. Scheduled brownouts on July 16 and July 23 will serve as advance warnings. Existing users are directed to Azure AI Foundry for model access or GitHub Copilot for AI workflows within GitHub.
