# MAI-Code-1-Flash deprecated

By Steven Van · 2026-09-10

Microsoft's MAI-Code-1-Flash is gone from Copilot Chat, edits, and completions, with MAI-Code-1.1-Flash as the suggested replacement.

GitHub has deprecated the MAI-Code-1-Flash model across all [GitHub](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/github>) Copilot experiences, including Copilot Chat, inline edits, ask and agent modes, and code completions, effective September 10, 2026. The [suggested alternative](<https://docs.github.com/copilot/reference/ai-models/supported-models?utm_source=model-release-announcement&utm_medium=changelog&utm_campaign=newmodels>) is MAI-Code-1.1-Flash.

No action is required to remove the deprecated model. Copilot Enterprise administrators may need to enable access to MAI-Code-1.1-Flash through their model policies in Copilot settings before it appears in the Copilot Chat model selector in VS Code and on github.com.
