Moonshot AI's Kimi K2.7 Code lands in GitHub Copilot as its first open-weight model

GitHub made Moonshot AI's Kimi K2.7 Code generally available in Copilot as the first open-weight model selectable in the picker, hosted on Azure and billed at provider list pricing. A developer on Copilot Pro, Pro+, or Max can pick it in VS Code today as a lower-cost coding option, while Copilot Business and Enterprise keep it off until an admin enables the policy.
