67
67
68
- 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.
68
69
- Model capabilities depend on the provider; some third-party models may not support tool use, vision inputs, or advanced features.
69
70
- Services like embeddings, intent detection, and repository indexing may continue to use the Copilot API.
70
71
- When using a custom model, output is returned directly from the provider and may bypass Copilot’s responsible AI filtering.

- Custom model support is **not** available for Copilot Business or Enterprise users.
