### Limitations and considerations
6667

6768
- Custom model support is limited to the Chat experience in Visual Studio and does not affect code completions or other AI-assisted features, such as commit message generation.
6869
- Model capabilities depend on the provider; some third-party models may not support tool use, vision inputs, or advanced features.
6970
- Services like embeddings, intent detection, and repository indexing may continue to use the Copilot API.
7071
- When using a custom model, output is returned directly from the provider and may bypass Copilot’s responsible AI filtering.
72+
- Custom model support is **not** available for Copilot Business or Enterprise users.
