   Hello, I think this issue should be reopened.

   I’ve tested this on both the Copilot Pro and Pro+ plans (re-authenticated each time), but I still get the error:

   "The requested model is not supported"

   This happens with:

   • Claude Sonnet 4
   • Gemini 2.5 Pro (Preview)
   • o4-mini
   • Gemini 2.0 Flash
   • o1 (Preview)

   Models that are working for me:

   • Claude Sonnet 3.7
   • Claude Sonnet 3.7 Thinking
   • GPT-4.1
   • o3-mini
   • Clause Sonnet 3.5
   • GPT-4o

   I'd assume both plans should work as they offer prett much the same models expect Pro+ offers o3 and Opus 4

   I found out what the issue was. If you’ve subscribed to GitHub Copilot but have never used it in VS Code with the extension, you’ll get this message prompting you to enable access to the third-party model (You'll need to allow it for Anthropic and Gemini) to do that you'll need to select one of the providers models and send a message and then it'll prompt you.

   

   Alternatively, you can go to your settings and enable them https://github.com/settings/copilot/features

   It might be worth adding this to FAQ, but I could just be an edge case
