GitHub's July 14 changelog expands BYOK to custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints with your own keys, plus a Claude agent provider in public preview for Pro and up. This turns JetBrains Copilot into a routing shell over self-hosted or third-party models rather than a closed pipe to GitHub-provisioned inference. The entry doesn't specify minimum plugin/IDE versions or model compatibility limits, which is annoying if you're planning a rollout.
