Kimi K2.7 Code is generally available in GitHub Copilot

Kimi K2.7 is now generally available in GitHub Copilot, providing developers with enhanced code completion and AI-assisted development capabilities within the platform.

Background

GitHub Copilot is Microsoft's AI coding assistant that suggests code as you type, integrated into editors like VS Code. Kimi K2.7 is a new AI model from the Chinese AI startup Moonshot AI (makers of the Kimi chatbot), which focuses on coding tasks. This announcement means that GitHub Copilot users can now pick Kimi K2.7 as their underlying model, alongside existing options like OpenAI's GPT-4 and Anthropic's Claude. The move is significant because it signals GitHub's multi-model strategy — rather than being locked into one AI provider, Copilot is becoming a platform that hosts models from multiple companies, including a Chinese competitor.
