Describe the enhancement you want to request
some context on the models.dev side: anomalyco/models.dev#885 (comment)
currently copilot plugin has some annoying papercuts in the way the model access is handled
the model lists comes from models.dev and it's the same list for everyone but:
- some models are only allowed on pro+ or enterprise plan (as of writing it's opus 4.6 fast)
- most new models have a long-ish rollout window
- enterprise admins can enable/disable specific models
so users run into issues:
- when new models roll out we have to wait for rollout to end before adding them to models.dev. otherwise some users will have broken (not yet active) models in the list. which is very annoying because rollout takes a lot of time and the model might be already usable for a large portion of users in vscode
- when we have models available on certain plans we can either ignore them fully (like opus 4.6 fast) or have them broken for users on a lower plan
- when we admin disables some models they still appear in the model picker and cause issues
i think the correct way to do this is to:
- add all models to models.dev regardless of the rollout status or plan access
- query available models per-user in the copilot plugin and remove unavailable models from the provider. codex plugin already does some (static) filtering so i think the approach is sound

So far, I have been manually updating available models in the config like this: Adamkadaban@165cfe0#diff-0737eabd1a6f22931a0963be50d7808e7c4b9ac593e0939a312ece1d80dbe2d9
Side note: Some models only work with vscode or copilot-cli client id, so it would be great if we could easily modify the client id in our config.
Edit: Turned it into a plugin

Hi, i was about to open an issue for this exact problem, due to the recent changes to the "copilot pro" plans for people with the education benefits, the frontier models (opus, etc) are no longer being served as part of the package, so if this could be added it would solve this pain point, because many models show up but are unable to be used with the mentioned education benefits version of the education plan
