Deprecation of Azure endpoint for GitHub Models
As of July 17, 2025 usage of https://models.inference.ai.azure.com for GitHub Models inference and embeddings is officially deprecated.
This change follows thelaunch of the GitHub Models API on May 15, 2025, which offers a fully supported, billable, and enterprise-ready way to access GitHub-hosted models through https://models.github.ai.
If you’re currently using https://models.inference.ai.azure.com, requests will temporarily continue to function, but we will remove support on October 17, 2025. After that date, GitHub Models usage must go through https://models.github.ai to receive valid responses.
To ensure access to the latest features, authentication, and accurate billing, all users should transition to the new GitHub Models API as soon as possible.
