VS Code's model roster is org-controlled but also tied to your subscription tier and region. If you're on Pro, check Settings > Extensions > GitHub Copilot > Model Selection—sometimes the UI doesn't refresh properly after updates. That said, Anthropic models have had regional availability quirks lately, so geography matters too.

Are you within an organization? they can control which subset of models are available to you

maybe it's related to the supply chain risk designation

    No, just a regular Pro subscription. Apparently it's not just me, Github seems to have removed these models from the "Student" subscription [0] but it seems as it was also removed from regular "Pro" subscriptions as there are many reports on their discussions. [1]

      Yeah, I got the email that they removed them from the student plan:

      "As part of this transition, however, some premium models, including GPT-5.4, and Claude Opus and Sonnet models, will no longer be available for self-selection under the GitHub Copilot Student Plan."

      They specifically said this was primarily for student plans. I'm surprised they did this for the normal pro plans too; it's likely a mistake since the plans page[1] still says that the models will be available.

      However, TBH, I've never liked Microsoft's flavor of these; they always seem lobotomized compared to using the models directly in Claude Code / Codex. I rarely use AI in VS Code because it's just bad.
