Kimi K2.7 Code is generally available in GitHub Copilot

Finally an alternative to the big dogs that a company can use. People have been asking for a way to run the Chinese models from a trusted provider. Here GitHub delivered!

The performance, if we trust the benchmarks, put it at Sonnet 4.6.

Let’s see if it’s worth it with GitHubs pricing.

When will GitHub Copilot support integrating custom models?

AFAIK you can already use custom models in VSCode Copilot, but probably not for cloud workloads yet.

Microsoft needs to offer cheaper option since they change to token based billing. GPT-5.4 used to be x1 for yearly subscriber but now it cost 6x. i run out the premium request for just couple prompts. Github copilot for $10 used to be the best value since you get all the US AI labs model for cheap.

Azure. It was already available on the Azure AI Foundry before.

Who really cares? The model multipliers and the artificial currency were the final nail in the Github Copilot coffin.
