GitHub Models - AI Model Hubs Tool
Overview
GitHub Models is a unified, hosted API surface that lets organizations call and govern multiple AI models from within the GitHub ecosystem while using Azure for infrastructure and billing. It centralizes access to model providers behind a consistent API so development teams can switch or compare models without changing integration code. The platform emphasizes enterprise needs: governance controls, auditability, and privacy settings designed for code- and data-sensitive workflows. Built to integrate with GitHub's developer tools and enterprise controls, GitHub Models provides a single control plane for model selection, usage tracking, and operational policies. Organizations can enforce model usage policies, route calls through approved infrastructure, and consolidate billing through Azure. Typical use cases include powering code assistants, embedding model calls in CI/CD pipelines, and running experiment comparisons between model families while retaining centralized governance and logs.
