GitHub Models is now available in public preview

GitHub Models has entered public preview! GitHub Models provides every GitHub developer with access to top AI models via a playground, API, and more.

Since the announcement of GitHub Models almost three months ago, we’ve shipped a number of enhancements and new models.

New features include:

• Side-by-side comparisons – Compare the output of two models as they respond to the same prompt in real time.
• Model presets – Save prompts, parameters, and messages to use later or share with a friend.
• Multimodal support – Provide images in the playground to models that support multimodal capabilities.
• Streamlined deployment process – Quickly move your application from development to production with an Azure production key.

New surfaces to use models include:

• Models CLI extension – Use any model from the command line by extending the GitHub CLI with `gh extension install https://github.com/github/gh-models\`.
• Models Copilot extension – Install the GitHub Models Copilot Extension and call GitHub Models with @models in GitHub Copilot Chat.
• Azure AI Toolkit for VS Code – Access GitHub Models in VS Code with the pre-release of Azure AI Toolkit, available on the VS Code Marketplace.

New model ships include:

• OpenAI o1 models: Copilot subscribers can use o1-preview and o1-mini.
• Meta Llama 3.2: Use the latest multimodal models with Llama 3.2 11B and Llama 3.2 90B.
• Microsoft Phi 3.5: Use the new Microsoft Phi 3.5 family of models with Phi 3.5 MoE instruct, Phi 3.5 mini instruct, and Phi 3.5 vision instruct.
