Claude models in Copilot CLI are only available if your organization or account has them enabled. A few things to check:

1. Model policy - Go to GitHub Settings > Copilot > Policies (or your org admin settings). Under "Model selection", make sure Claude models are not blocked. Some orgs restrict to specific providers.

2. Region availability - Claude models in Copilot may not be available in all regions. If you're accessing through an org that has data residency requirements, Claude might be filtered out.

3. CLI version - You're on 1.0.11 which should support it, but try:

   copilot --version
   copilot model list

   to see what models are actually available to your session.

4. Re-authenticate - Sometimes the token cache gets stale:

   copilot auth logout
   copilot auth login

5. Pro+ plan confirmation - Verify at https://github.com/settings/copilot that your subscription is active and shows Pro+. If it recently renewed or changed, the CLI might need a fresh auth.

If none of this helps, try using the VS Code Copilot Chat extension to verify Claude models work there first - that would confirm whether it's a CLI-specific issue or account-level.

Thanks for your reply!

Claude models were missing because of the Region availability. I accidentally enabled a network proxy.
