Use of models in {% data variables.product.github %}

The information in this article is for the direct use of {% data variables.product.prodname_github_models %}.

{% data variables.product.github %} supports using models in two additional ways.

• {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} uses models to perform its work, see AUTOTITLE
• If you use models provided by other companies, see AUTOTITLE

Multipliers and costs for direct use of {% data variables.product.prodname_github_models %}

The table below lists the currently available models. Each model supported by {% data variables.product.prodname_github_models %} has an input and output multiplier that determines the number of token units for each request. For more information on token units, see AUTOTITLE.

Model name	Input multiplier	Cached input multiplier	Output multiplier	Input price (per 1M token units)	Cached input price (per 1M token units)	Output price (per 1M token units)
