VS Code's model roster is org-controlled but also tied to your subscription tier and region. If you're on Pro, check Settings > Extensions > GitHub Copilot > Model Selection—sometimes the UI doesn't refresh properly after updates. That said, Anthropic models have had regional availability quirks lately, so geography matters too.by scka-de

Are you within an organization? they can control which subset of models are available to youmaybe it's related to the supply chain risk designation

No, just a regular Pro subscription. Apparently it's not just me, Github seems to have removed these models from the "Student" subscription [0] but it seems as it was also removed from regular "Pro" subscriptions as there are many reports on their discussions. [1]by lgl

Yeah, I got the email that they removed them from the student plan:"As part of this transition, however, some premium models, including GPT-5.4, and Claude Opus and Sonnet models, will no longer be available for self-selection under the GitHub Copilot Student Plan."
They specifically said this was primarily for student plans. I'm surprised they did this for the normal pro plans too; it's likely a mistake since the plans page[1] still says that the models will be available.
However, TBH, I've never liked Microsoft's flavor of these; they always seem lobotomized compared to using the models directly in Claude Code / Codex. I rarely use AI in VS Code because it's just bad.
