In July, we announced a default model policy for generally available GitHub Copilot models on Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise plans. Starting today, we’re gradually rolling out enforcement of the policy through September 1, so it will take effect at different times for different enterprises. Previously unconfigured and new generally available models will inherit the global policy state. Administrators can make durable decisions for individual models at their discretion. Open-weight models and any models that require data retention are disabled by default.
What’s changing
Once the policy takes effect for your organization or enterprise:
Models you haven’t previously configured will change their state to “Delegate to default policy”, and they’ll begin following your policy setting. If your policy is enabled — which is the default — those models will become available to your users.
“Delegate to default policy” is a live, dynamic state that always tracks your policy. You can change the policy at any time, and all applicable models follow that state change.
