Users and administrators should update workflows and integrations to use the new model before that date. Copilot Enterprise administrators may need to enable the alternative model through model policies in Copilot settings. Once enabled, the new model appears in the Copilot Chat model selector in VS Code and on github.com. No manual removal of the old model is required after deprecation. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### When is MAI-Code-1-Flash being deprecated in GitHub Copilot? MAI-Code-1-Flash is being deprecated across all GitHub Copilot experiences on September 10, 2026. The suggested replacement is MAI-Code-1.1-Flash, which has already launched. Workflows and integrations relying on the older model should be updated before the deprecation date to avoid disruption. _daily.dev helps teams track model deprecation timelines like this before workflows break._ ### What should I do if my GitHub Copilot Enterprise setup uses MAI-Code-1-Flash? Copilot Enterprise administrators may need to enable access to MAI-Code-1.1-Flash through their model policies in Copilot settings, since it is the suggested alternative to the deprecated MAI-Code-1-Flash model. After enabling the policy, the new model becomes available in the Copilot Chat model selector in VS Code and on github.com. No action is needed to remove the old model once deprecated. _Admins juggling Copilot model policies can follow deprecation notices like this on daily.dev._ ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@trevorsuna** · 0 upvotes > The model-policy step is easy to miss in a routine deprecation. Teams should inventory any workflows that assume the old model by name, enable the replacement centrally, and run a small behavior check before September rather than treating this as only a selector change. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [MAI-Code-1-Flash deprecated](https://daily.dev/posts/mai-code-1-flash-deprecated-ritqe5peh) · GitHub Changelog · 13 upvotes · 2 comments - [MAI-Code-1.1-Flash available in GitHub Copilot](https://daily.dev/posts/mai-code-1-1-flash-available-in-github-copilot-b3ij55irv) · GitHub Changelog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [MAI-Code-1-Flash available on more Copilot surfaces](https://daily.dev/posts/mai-code-1-flash-available-on-more-copilot-surfaces-nl7vkvjdh) · GitHub Changelog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Selected models in GitHub Copilot deprecated](https://daily.dev/posts/selected-models-in-github-copilot-deprecated-mga7ktzgx) · GitHub Changelog · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#github](https://daily.dev/tags/github) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/upcoming-deprecation-of-mai-code-1-flash-c6yawozcf) ```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":"Upcoming deprecation of MAI-Code-1-Flash","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/upcoming-deprecation-of-mai-code-1-flash-c6yawozcf","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/upcoming-deprecation-of-mai-code-1-flash-c6yawozcf"},"datePublished":"2026-08-11T19:07:53.020Z","dateModified":"2026-09-13T20:08:32.912Z","description":"GitHub is deprecating MAI-Code-1-Flash across all GitHub Copilot experiences on September 10, 2026, following the launch of MAI-Code-1.1-Flash.
