Microsoft launches GitHub Models, offering 100 million developers easy access to leading AI tools
Microsoft has introduced "GitHub Models," a new platform that enables over 100 million developers to integrate AI into their software projects by providing access to a variety of AI models. This includes popular models like Llama 3.1, GPT-4o, and Mistral Large 2, among others. Developers can explore these models for free through a built-in model playground on GitHub, where they can experiment with different prompts and model parameters.
The integration of GitHub Models into Codespaces and Visual Studio Code aims to simplify the development process, allowing developers to easily transfer what they've learned and experimented with into their own environments. Backed by Azure AI, the platform offers enterprise-grade security, privacy, and availability, which is vital for running AI applications at scale. GitHub Models is also designed to adhere to strict privacy and security standards, ensuring that no data used in the model playground is shared with external parties or used to train the models.
