## AI 摘要

GitHub Models 已完成退役，其模型 playground 工具和跨 LLM 提供商的统一 API 服务正式关闭。该服务曾让 GitHub Actions 中的代码可直接使用环境内已有的 GitHub API key 执行提示词。作者已改用带月度消费限额的 OpenAI API key，并使用 GPT-5.6 Luna 生成 README 文件夹摘要。

## 正文

GitHub Models is temporarily unavailable as part of a scheduled retirement brownout.

That message is already stale, because the retirement has been completed.

GitHub Models was an odd-shaped duck. GitHub provided a model playground tool and a unified API across a bunch of different LLM providers, with the biggest benefit being that code running in GitHub Actions could use the GitHub API key already present in that environment to execute prompts.

This made it easy to build things that fit GitHub Next's Continuous AI concept.

GitHub didn't share the reason behind the shutdown, but my bet is that it fits the pattern where coding agent patterns made it prohibitively expensive to offer free or subsidized tokens.

My workflow uses an LLM call to create folder summaries for the README, using this code here. I swapped GitHub Models out for an OpenAI API key with a monthly spending limit, and I'm now generating my summaries using GPT-5.6 Luna.
