Teams using these models in workflows or integrations need to switch to the suggested alternatives. Enterprise administrators may need to enable access to the new models via Copilot policy settings and can verify availability in the model selector in VS Code or github.com. No action is needed to remove the deprecated models themselves. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Which AI models were deprecated in GitHub Copilot as of October 2, 2026? Gemini 3.5 Flash, Gemini 3.6 Flash, Kimi K2.7 Code, and Claude Opus 4.7 were deprecated across all GitHub Copilot experiences, including Copilot Chat, inline edits, ask and agent modes, and code completions, effective October 2, 2026. Suggested replacements are Gemini 3.8 Flash for both Gemini models, Kimi K3, and Claude Opus 5.5 respectively. _Teams swapping deprecated Copilot models for their replacements can track rollout details like this on daily.dev._ ### Do I need to do anything after GitHub Copilot deprecates a model I was using? No action is required to remove deprecated models from GitHub Copilot, but workflows and integrations should be updated to use supported models instead. Copilot Enterprise administrators may need to enable access to the alternative models through model policies in Copilot settings, then verify the new model appears in the Copilot Chat model selector in VS Code or on github.com. _Developers managing Copilot model policies can keep tabs on deprecation notices like this via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Upcoming deprecation of selected GitHub Copilot models](https://daily.dev/posts/upcoming-deprecation-of-selected-github-copilot-models-dawvbv51e) · GitHub Changelog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Selected Claude, OpenAI, and Gemini Copilot models are now deprecated](https://daily.dev/posts/selected-claude-openai-and-gemini-copilot-models-are-now-deprecated-mpv02xqfs) · GitHub Changelog · 22 upvotes · 0 comments - [Upcoming deprecation of Gemini 3 Pro and GPT-5.1 models](https://daily.dev/posts/upcoming-deprecation-of-gemini-3-pro-and-gpt-5-1-models-fobhu97ll) · GitHub Changelog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [GitHub removes some models from free Copilot student plan](https://daily.dev/posts/github-removes-some-models-from-free-copilot-student-plan-m6khs2qzm) · The Register · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#github](https://daily.dev/tags/github), [#claude](https://daily.dev/tags/claude), [#google-gemini](https://daily.dev/tags/google-gemini), [#kimi](https://daily.dev/tags/kimi) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/selected-models-in-github-copilot-deprecated-mga7ktzgx) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Selected models in GitHub Copilot deprecated","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/selected-models-in-github-copilot-deprecated-mga7ktzgx","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/selected-models-in-github-copilot-deprecated-mga7ktzgx"},"datePublished":"2026-10-02T19:04:43.922Z","dateModified":"2026-10-02T19:09:27.665Z","description":"GitHub has deprecated four AI models across all Copilot experiences (Chat, inline edits, ask/agent modes, code completions) effective October 2, 2026: Gemini...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/7a1c949859cbf406c392638a7c5c3e18?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/7a1c949859cbf406c392638a7c5c3e18?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"GitHub Changelog","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"GitHub Changelog","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/15004b7835da4d89b02b115871f0f6dc","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/github_updates"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/selected-models-in-github-copilot-deprecated-mga7ktzgx","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":1},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"github,claude,google-gemini,kimi","timeRequired":"PT1M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"GitHub Changelog","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/github_updates"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Selected models in GitHub Copilot deprecated"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/selected-models-in-github-copilot-deprecated-mga7ktzgx#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Which AI models were deprecated in GitHub Copilot as of October 2, 2026?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Gemini 3.5 Flash, Gemini 3.6 Flash, Kimi K2.7 Code, and Claude Opus 4.7 were deprecated across all GitHub Copilot experiences, including Copilot Chat, inline edits, ask and agent modes, and code completions, effective October 2, 2026.
