Kimi K2.7 Code Now Available in GitHub Copilot
GitHub Changeloghigh confidence
Why it matters
- →Provides developers with more choice in selecting AI models for coding workflows.
- →Offers a potentially lower-cost option compared to existing models.
- →Expands the flexibility and accessibility of GitHub Copilot for various user plans.
GitHub has made the Kimi K2.7 Code model generally available in GitHub Copilot, marking the first open-weight model option in the platform's model picker. Hosted on Microsoft Azure, this model is available under usage-based billing and is initially rolling out to Copilot Pro, Pro+, and Max plans. Users can select the model in Visual Studio Code and other platforms, with plans to expand to Copilot Business and Enterprise. This development offers developers more choice and potentially lower costs in their coding workflows.

CodeQL 2.26.0 Enhances Security with AI Detection
CodeQL 2.26.0 marks a significant step forward for GitHub's static analysis engine, particularly in addressing security vulnerabilities. This release expands its capabilities to include Kotlin 2.4.0, while also adding a crucial query for identifying AI prompt injection risks in JavaScript and TypeScript. By refining existing queries and introducing new ones across languages like C#, Go, and Python, the update reduces false positives and enhances detection accuracy. These improvements make CodeQL a more powerful tool for developers focused on securing their code, especially in AI-driven contexts. The update is automatically available to GitHub code scanning users, ensuring immediate benefits for those on the platform.

GitHub REST API Enhances Multi-User Budget Tracking
GitHub has streamlined budget management for enterprises by introducing a REST API endpoint that allows for efficient tracking of individual user consumption against multi-user budgets. Previously, checking each user's budget usage required separate API calls, making the process cumbersome for large organizations. Now, enterprise owners and billing managers can quickly identify users nearing their budget limits, thanks to new filtering and sorting capabilities. This update simplifies financial oversight and reduces the need for custom scripts, making budget management more accessible and efficient.
