GitHub Copilot Deprecates MAI-Code-1-Flash

#GitHubCopilot#GitHub#ModelDeprecation#MAICode

GitHub deprecated MAI-Code-1-Flash across all GitHub Copilot experiences effective September 10, 2026.

Details

  • Deprecated model: MAI-Code-1-Flash
  • Affected surfaces: Copilot Chat, inline edits, ask and agent modes, and code completions
  • Recommended replacement: MAI-Code-1.1-Flash
  • Admin action needed: enterprise administrators must enable access to MAI-Code-1.1-Flash through their organization’s model policies in Copilot settings before it appears in the model selector

What happened next

The deprecation is routine model-lifecycle housekeeping, continuing GitHub’s pattern of retiring superseded models shortly after their successors become available.
