Default model enablement for Copilot Business and Enterprise

GitHub is introducing a default enablement policy for generally available Copilot models on Business and Enterprise plans. Starting August 26, new GA models will be enabled by default instead of requiring manual admin activation. A 28-day window is provided for admins to review settings. Organizations can opt out via a single policy toggle. Open-weight models (e.g., DeepSeek, Kimi K2.7) and models outside GitHub's data retention agreement are excluded from default enablement.
