Kimi K2.7 Code is now generally available for users of GitHub Copilot. It marks the introduction of the first open-weight model in the Copilot model picker, offering users more options and cost-effective solutions for coding tasks.
The new model will begin rolling out to Copilot Pro, Pro+, and Max plans. Users can select Kimi K2.7 Code in Visual Studio Code and other compatible environments after the update. The rollout process will be gradual, monitored for quality and performance.
Kimi K2.7 Code will also be accessible on multiple platforms including GitHub Copilot App, GitHub Mobile, and JetBrains. For Copilot Business and Enterprise users, this model is off by default; administrators must enable its policy for users to access it.
Organizations are advised to review the model against their security, compliance, and data governance requirements before enabling access. This consideration is crucial to ensure appropriate use of open-weight AI models within development teams.
As Kimi K2.7 Code becomes widely available, users are encouraged to explore the capabilities of various models in GitHub Copilot and engage in discussions via the GitHub Community to provide feedback.
