    Between 23:28 and 00:23 UTC on October 27, 2026, GitHub Copilot experienced degradation affecting Grok 4.6 and Grok 4.7 models. Users encountered elevated error rates when using these models.<br /><br />The degradation was caused by an issue with an upstream model provider. GitHub engineers detected the issue through automated monitoring and coordinated with the provider.
