Introducing GitHub Models: A new generation of AI engineers building on GitHub

GitHub Models is a new platform launched by GitHub to enable developers to become AI engineers by providing easy access to industry-leading AI models. This initiative offers a playground for testing models like Llama 3.1, GPT-4o, and Mistral Large 2, allowing developers to experiment and integrate these models into their projects seamlessly using Codespaces and VS Code. The platform emphasizes security and privacy, ensuring no data is shared with model providers. The launch aligns with GitHub's vision of democratizing AI technology, aiming to empower over 100 million developers to innovate and create generative AI applications. GitHub Models supports collaboration and learning, with plans to expand its suite of models, enhancing the developer experience by streamlining the process from experimentation to production deployment via Azure AI.
