Copilot / GitHub Models Note

Relax. We'll talk through this in plain words — no textbook voice.

Copilot / GitHub Models

GitHub Copilot's Core API isn't opened up as a public REST API. Instead GitHub Models or Azure AI Inference can be used through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

{
  "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
  "messages": [{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]
}

Note Endpoints/permissions can vary by org or subscription. Check what's appropriate for your setup.
