Nota:
Support to use your own model provider in the aplicación Copilot de GitHub is in versión preliminar pública and subject to change.
You can configure the aplicación Copilot de GitHub to use your own LLM provider, also called BYOK (Bring Your Own Key), instead of GitHub-hosted models. You can set up your model provider when you first open the app or later in app settings.
You must sign in with a GitHub account to use the app, but you do not need a Copilot plan if you use your own model provider. If you do have a Copilot plan, you can use both your own model provider and GitHub-hosted models in the same app.
Nota:
This article is for users who want to configure their own LLM provider settings on their local machine. To set up custom models for users in an organization or enterprise, see Uso de las claves de API del proveedor LLM con Copilot and Uso de tus claves de API del proveedor LLM con Copilot.

Prerequisites

Set up a model provider
If you are setting up the app for the first time and do not have a Copilot plan, you can choose to set up your own model provider during onboarding.
To add or update a model provider later:
- Open the aplicación Copilot de GitHub.
- Open app settings, then click Model providers.
- Click Add provider.
- Select your provider.
- Enter the provider details. This varies by provider but may include the display name, base URL, and API key.
- Click Add provider to save the provider.
After you add a provider, its models appear in the model picker alongside GitHub-hosted models. You can select the model and use it in a session. For more information, see Trabajar con sesiones de agente en la aplicación GitHub Copilot.
Provider credentials are stored in the system credential store and are never displayed in the UI.
