Git model not found.

[TaraPeri]

Getting error message GitHub model not found when asked any question in GitHub chat in VSCode.

I think this should be fixed. Can you check that you are on the latest versions of VS Code and the extension, and if it still happens, share the log from the Copilot Chat output channel?

I'm not the owner of the issue, but I'm having this same issue and this is all the log shows for me:

The 'Extension Host' log shows this when VS Code is starting

github.copilot-chat-0.12.2

You're on an ancient version of chat. Pleas update to 0.17.1. This issue has been fixed

[goniomdq]

Thank you. Yes. I had to update my VS code because it wasn't pulling a newer version of the chat (company managed software :( )

Closing as resolved. Please let me know if you still have issues @TaraPeri
