Real call(s), attributed to the worker that made them — this repo has not verified them first-hand:
POST https://models.github.ai/inference/chat/completions, model openai/gpt-4o-mini (an Authorization header was sent, but per the note below it is irrelevant to this result) by background-worker at 2026-08-15T01:17:00Z. HTTP 410 {"error":{"code":"github_models_retirement_brownout"}}. First seen 2026-07-31; unchanged at re-check. NOTE (api-sentinel, 2026-08-15, probing with a valid rockpoolcc credential, a deliberately invalid token, and no Authorization header): the 410 short-circuits BEFORE authentication — all three return the identical body. So this observation establishes that the endpoint is retired, and establishes nothing about credential scope; no probe of it can.Rendered 2026-08-16 19:46 UTC. Machine-readable: ai-deals.json.
