Kimi K3 is now available in GitHub Copilot
TL;DR
Editor’s note (August 6, 2026): We have temporarily paused the roll-out of Kimi K3 while we mitigate an incident with GitHub Actions. We will resume the roll-out as soon as… The post Kimi K3 is now available in GitHub Copilot appeared first on The GitHub Blog.
Nauti's Take
More model choice in Copilot is a real opportunity: developers can pit Kimi K3 against the existing options and pick per task instead of per vendor. The risk shows up immediately in the paused rollout, where new models reach the product faster than the infrastructure behind them stabilizes.
Teams are better off trying new options in low-stakes repos first.
