VS Code now supports bring your own key for language models from multiple providers
Summary
Kayla Cinnamon announces that VS Code now supports bring your own key (BYOK) for language models, allowing developers to use models from providers like Azure, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenAI, Huggingface, OpenRouter, or local models via Ollama and Foundry Local. The feature was demonstrated at Microsoft Build 2026, where a local model on the Surface RTX Spark Dev Box analyzed log files and provided summaries to help diagnose issues. This gives developers greater flexibility when working with agents, complementing the built-in models available through GitHub Copilot.

Sometimes you want the built-in models available through GitHub Copilot.
My model was periodically analyzing my log files and giving me summaries, so I could easily diagnose issues without having to look through the logs myself.
