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.
