• GitHub Copilot cloud agent
• GitHub Copilot app
• github.com
• GitHub Mobile iOS and Android
• Jetbrains

Rollout will be gradual and we’ll continue to monitor the model’s quality and performance. Check back soon if you don’t see it yet.

Enabling access for Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise

Kimi K3 isoff by defaultfor Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise. Plan administrators must enable the Kimi K3 policy in Copilot settings before anyone in their organization can select it. If the policy is left off, the model stays unavailable to that organization.

We recommend administrators review open-weight models against their own security, compliance, and data-governance requirements before enabling them.
