GitHub Models client integration

यह कंटेंट अभी तक आपकी भाषा में उपलब्ध नहीं है।

To get started with the Aspire GitHub Models client integration, you can use either the Azure AI Inference client or the OpenAI client, depending on your needs and model compatibility.

Using Azure AI Inference client

Install the 📦 Aspire.Azure.AI.Inference NuGet package in the client-consuming project:

dotnet add package Aspire.Azure.AI.Inference

#:package Aspire.Azure.AI.Inference@*

<PackageReference Include="Aspire.Azure.AI.Inference" Version="*" />

Add a ChatCompletionsClient

In the Program.cs file of your client-consuming project, use the AddAzureChatCompletionsClient method to register a ChatCompletionsClient for dependency injection:

builder.AddAzureChatCompletionsClient("chat");

You can then retrieve the ChatCompletionsClient instance using dependency injection:

public class ExampleService(ChatCompletionsClient client)
{
    public async Task<string> GetResponseAsync(string prompt)
    {
        var response = await client.GetChatCompletionsAsync(
            new[]
            {
                new ChatMessage(ChatRole.User, prompt)
            });

        return response.Value.Choices[0].Message.Content;
    }
}

Add ChatCompletionsClient with registered IChatClient

If you’re using the Microsoft.Extensions.AI abstractions, you can register an IChatClient:

builder.AddAzureChatCompletionsClient("chat")
       .AddChatClient();

Then use it in your services:

public class StoryService(IChatClient chatClient)
{
    public async Task<string> GenerateStoryAsync(string prompt)
    {
        var response = await chatClient.GetResponseAsync(prompt);

        return response.Text;
    }
}

Using OpenAI client

For models compatible with the OpenAI API (such as openai/gpt-4o-mini), you can use the OpenAI client. Install the 📦 Aspire.OpenAI NuGet package:

dotnet add package Aspire.OpenAI

#:package Aspire.OpenAI@*

<PackageReference Include="Aspire.OpenAI" Version="*" />

Add an OpenAI client

builder.AddOpenAIClient("chat");

You can then use the OpenAI client:

public class ChatService(OpenAIClient client)
{
    public async Task<string> GetChatResponseAsync(string prompt)
    {
        var chatClient = client.GetChatClient(GitHubModel.OpenAI.OpenAIGpt4oMini);
        var response = await chatClient.CompleteChatAsync(
            new[]
            {
                new UserChatMessage(prompt)
            });

        return response.Value.Content[0].Text;
    }
}

Add OpenAI client with registered IChatClient

builder.AddOpenAIClient("chat")
       .AddChatClient();

Configuration

The GitHub Models integration supports configuration through user secrets, environment variables, or app settings. The integration automatically uses the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable if available, or you can specify a custom API key parameter.

Authentication

The GitHub Models integration requires a GitHub personal access token with models: read permission. The token can be provided in several ways:

Environment variables in Codespaces and GitHub Actions

When running an app in GitHub Codespaces or GitHub Actions, the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable is automatically available and can be used without additional configuration. This token has the necessary permissions to access GitHub Models for the repository context.

// No additional configuration needed in Codespaces/GitHub Actions
var model = GitHubModel.OpenAI.OpenAIGpt4oMini;
var chat = builder.AddGitHubModel("chat", model);

Personal access tokens for local development

For local development, you need to create a fine-grained personal access token with the models: read scope and configure it in user secrets:

{
  "Parameters": {
    "chat-gh-apikey": "github_pat_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
  }
}

Connection string format

The connection string follows this format:

Endpoint=https://models.github.ai/inference;Key={api_key};Model={model_name};DeploymentId={model_name}

For organization-specific requests:

Endpoint=https://models.github.ai/orgs/{organization}/inference;Key={api_key};Model={model_name};DeploymentId={model_name}

Connection properties

When you reference a GitHub Model resource using WithReference, the following connection properties are made available to the consuming project:

GitHub Model

The GitHub Model resource exposes the following connection properties:

Property Name	Description
`Uri`	The GitHub Models inference endpoint URI, with the format `https://models.github.ai/inference`
`Key`	The API key (PAT or GitHub App token) for authentication
`ModelName`	The model identifier for inference requests, for instance `openai/gpt-4o-mini`
`Organization`	The organization attributed to the request (available when configured)

Example properties:

Uri: https://models.github.ai/inference
ModelName: openai/gpt-4o-mini

Rate limits and costs

Sample application

The dotnet/aspire repo contains an example application demonstrating the GitHub Models integration. You can find the sample in the Aspire GitHub repository.

Observability and telemetry

Logging

The GitHub Models integration uses standard HTTP client logging categories:

System.Net.Http.HttpClient
Microsoft.Extensions.Http

Tracing

HTTP requests to the GitHub Models API are automatically traced when using the Azure AI Inference or OpenAI clients.
