Models

GitHub-hosted models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, xAI and Moonshot. Local BYOK in VS Code, JetBrains, Xcode, the CLI and the app connects OpenAI-compatible, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic or Ollama endpoints and bypasses GitHub's API, so some features are not available on it. Eclipse is also supported but is not in the hosts list.
