    The issues with our upstream model provider have been resolved, and Fable 5 is once again available in Copilot products and IDE surfaces.<br /><br />We will continue monitoring to ensure stability, but mitigation is complete.

    Errors with the Fable 5 Model in Copilot

    We are seeing modest recovery, but are still experiencing degraded availability for the Fable 5 model in Copilot products and IDE surfaces. This is due to an issue with an upstream model provider. While we work with them to resolve the issue, we recommend choosing another model or selecting 'Auto' to continue using Copilot.

What to do next

  • Verify your own services recovered cleanly. Some upstream outages leave queues or caches in a degraded state, run smoke tests before declaring green internally.
  • Save the post-mortem. Vendors usually publish a detailed RCA 1-3 days later. We'll add it to this page when it appears.
  • Watch the provider going forward. Follow GitHub's status feed →

GlobalOutageMap aggregates publicly reported signals. We never claim authoritative status, always cross-check the provider's official channel before making business decisions.
