GitHub Models AI API pricing

GitHub Models exposes a unified catalog (GPT-5, Claude, Llama 4, Mistral, Cohere, DeepSeek) through a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Free for prototyping with strict per-day caps; paid usage is metered against Copilot premium-request quotas, billed per seat. Tightly integrated with GitHub Actions, Codespaces, and Spark.
