## The brief

GitHub deprecated Gemini 3.5 Flash, Gemini 3.6 Flash, Kimi K2.7 Code and Claude Opus 4.7 across all Copilot experiences on October 2, 2026, including chat, edits, agent modes and completions. Its suggested replacements are Gemini 3.8 Flash for both Gemini models, Kimi K3 and Claude Opus 5.5, respectively. Copilot Enterprise administrators may need to enable replacement models through policy settings; removing the deprecated models requires no action.
