Availability in GitHub Copilot
Kimi K3 is beginning to roll out to Copilot Pro, Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise plans. You’ll be able to select the model in the model picker in:
Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio
Copilot CLI
GitHub Copilot cloud agent
GitHub Copilot app
github.com
GitHub Mobile iOS and Android
Jetbrains
XCode
Eclipse
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 is off by default for 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.
