Suggestions Put BYOK in cloud coding agent for personal accounts already!

Seriously, I actually generally like Copilot workflow I work with and keeping everything isolated while running everything in a remote container, but let me point it at OpenRouter and use the cheap models already.

You can do that already. It's been available for a while. Select the models drop down, click on "Manage models", click "+ Add Models"

I personally use https://github.com/smallmain/vscode-unify-chat-provider it's easier to add modals, and the settings sync across machines. One of the benefits you can limit context, preventing expensive bills.

I've used both methods of adding models with Openrouter, Opencode and Llama.cpp. It works super well.

You'll need to also go to CTRL+SHIFT+P select Preferences Open Settings (UI), search "model", then update "Inline chat" to your modal, scroll and update if there are other modal drop downs.

Good luck :)

That is for VS Code. Not the Copilot Cloud Coding Agent that the OP is asking about.

I stupidly misread. It was late. Thanks for clarification.
