| Free tier | no completion is returned; the endpoint answers 200 with a 4-byte body 'OK' unit none; metered on none |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Per-object cap | not applicable: an inference endpoint stores nothing for the caller |
| Retention | not applicable |
| Egress | the response is the payload; no separate egress term is published |
| Identity | anonymous no key was sent; the endpoint did not ask for one |
| Binding | none |
| Interface | rest |
| Tooling | any OpenAI-compatible client; curl against POST {base}/chat/completions |
| Composes with | no chain exists: the service was retired on 2026-07-30 and every caller must move to Azure AI Foundry or Copilot |
| Reliability | returns HTTP 200 with Content-Type text/plain and a 4-byte body, which a status-only probe scores as a success |
| Notes | This is the control row for the never-trust-200 rule: the status is a success, the body is not a completion, and the body hash is identical across three runs. The verdict is dead, and it now rests on the vendor's own retirement notice at docs.github.com/en/github-models ('fully retired as of July 30, 2026'), not only on the empty body. The distinction matters: an endpoint that gates on a key also returns 402 or 401 rather than 200 with 'OK', and this one returns 200 with 'OK' because the service is gone rather than because it wants a credential. |

The playground, model catalog, inference API, and bring your own key (BYOK) are no longer available to any customer.' That is the vendor's own statement of death, which the 4-byte body alone could not establish |
