OpenAI o1 is now available in GitHub Models

GitHub Models makes it easy for every developer on GitHub to build AI features and products, with access to top AI models via a playground, API, and more.

Today, we’ve added access to OpenAI’s brand new o1 model. The new o1 model replaces o1-preview, and offers even better performance in complex tasks. You can learn more about this launch and its availability on both GitHub Models and Copilot in our blog post.

Start working with o1 directly in our GitHub Models playground. You can even compare it side-by-side with GPT-4o to evaluate how they work differently.
