GitHub Models /inference* endpoint removal

Stopped workingSubscribe to GitHub ModelsShare

GitHub Models retired its inference endpoints on July 30, 2026. Calls to /inference* fail since that day, as the service was fully retired along with its playground, model catalog, and BYOK endpoints.


Calls it hits

  • /inference*

What to use instead of these calls

Use Microsoft Foundry's model catalog or GitHub Copilot for model access. Moving to Microsoft Foundry requires more than updating an identifier, as it is a separate platform with its own account, keys, and model ids.

Microsoft Foundry is another platform, with its own account, keys and model ids.

In GitHub Models's words

GitHub Models will be fully retired on July 30, 2026. After this date, the playground, model catalog, inference API, and BYOK endpoints will no longer be available, and the related UI will be removed.
