GitHub Launches Agent HQ: Unified Platform for Claude, Codex, and Major AI Models

GitHub announced Agent HQ in February 2026, a new AI integration platform that provides a unified interface for accessing multiple AI models—Claude (Anthropic), OpenAI Codex, and Gemini (Google)—directly within GitHub repositories and Visual Studio Code.

Overview

What is Agent HQ?

Agent HQ enables developers to switch between multiple AI models through a single interface. Previously, each AI service (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) required separate web interfaces or IDE plugins, but Agent HQ provides unified access on GitHub.

• Anthropic: Claude Opus 4.6, Claude Sonnet 4.5
• OpenAI: GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark, GPT-4 Turbo

• Other: GitHub Copilot (proprietary engine)

Open-source model support (Llama 3, Mistral, etc.) is planned.
