Kimi K2\.7 Code, an open\-weight model, is now generally available in GitHub Copilot\. This is the first open\-weight model offered as a selectable option in the Copilot model picker, giving you more choice and a lower\-cost option for your coding workflows\.
Kimi K2\.7 Code is hosted by GitHub on Microsoft Azure\.

Kimi K2\.7 Code is beginning to roll out to Copilot Pro, Pro\+, and Max plans\. You’ll be able to select the model in the model picker in Visual Studio Code\. Rollout will be gradual and we’ll continue to monitor the model’s quality and performance\.
We’ll expand to Copilot Business, Enterprise, and additional surfaces over the coming weeks\. Check back soon if you don’t see it yet\.
You’ll be able to select the model in the model picker in:

### [Enabling access for Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise](https://github.blog/changelog/2026-07-01-kimi-k2-7-is-now-available-in-github-copilot/#enabling-access-for-copilot-business-and-copilot-enterprise)
Kimi K2\.7 Code is**off by default**for Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise\. Plan administrators must enable the Kimi K2\.7 Code 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\.
