This allows teams to reuse existing API keys from providers like anthropic, OpenAI, Google gemini, OpenRouter, and Azure, as well as locally running models via ollama and foundry local. BYoK models are available in VS Code chat and custom agents, but not for code completions. Usage is billed directly by the chosen provider and does not count against copilot request quotas. The feature is enabled by default and can be disabled by organization administrators. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
