GitHub Copilot CLI v1.0.68: Kimi K2.7-Code Support in Headless Environments
GitHub
GitHub Copilot CLI v1.0.68 (July 1) added support for the kimi-k2.7-code model alongside improvements to transient IDE disconnect handling and Thai/Devanagari terminal text rendering. v1.0.69-0 (pre-release, July 2) added file and folder completion to /sandbox path entries.
Why it matters
The CLI is the primary interface for Copilot in headless and CI environments. Adding Kimi K2.7-code on the same day it landed in the IDE gives terminal-first and CI workflows immediate access to the open-weight model.
Importance: 2/5
