 # Docs changelog
 
+**26 August 2025**
+
+xAI Grok Code Fast 1 is now available in public preview for GitHub Copilot. Grok Code Fast 1 is slowly rolling out to all paid Copilot plans and you will be able to access the model in Visual Studio Code (Agent, Ask, and Edit modes).
+
+See [Supported AI models in GitHub Copilot](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/reference/ai-models/supported-models).
