## Use of models in {% data variables.product.github %}

The information in this article is for the direct use of {% data variables.product.prodname_github_models %}.

{% data variables.product.github %} supports using models in two additional ways.

* {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} uses models to perform its work, see [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/concepts/billing/copilot-requests#model-multipliers)
* If you use models provided by other companies, see [AUTOTITLE](/github-models/github-models-at-scale/using-your-own-api-keys-in-github-models)

## Multipliers and costs for direct use of {% data variables.product.prodname_github_models %}

The table below lists the currently available models. Each model supported by {% data variables.product.prodname_github_models %} has an input and output multiplier that determines the number of token units for each request. For more information on token units, see [AUTOTITLE](/billing/concepts/product-billing/github-models).

| Model name                        | Input multiplier | Cached input multiplier | Output multiplier | Input price (per 1M token units) | Cached input price (per 1M token units) | Output price (per 1M token units) |
