Best explanation I found was this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiBB8Lsgl7I

It's three things, all currently waitlisted:

1. A new model playground (like the ones by OpenAI and Anthropic) that lets you try prompts against a large range of models

2. Client libraries for the same using what looks like a universal API proxy, though I think these are existing Azure libraries

3. A "gh models run" command (similar to my LLM CLI tool) that lets to interact with models on the command line

So it's mostly a wrapper around existing Azure stuff that makes it MUCH easier to use, because GitHub are better than Azure at things like authentication systems that don't strike fear into your mortal soul.

I hate to bag on Azure because competition in cloud is critical and they keep at least some price pressure on AWS, but god damn is it near impossible to even log in on a new machine.

And it’s not like AWS is winning any UX competitions.
