When will GitHub Copilot support integrating custom models?

Finally an alternative to the big dogs that a company can use. People have been asking for a way to run the Chinese models from a trusted provider. Here GitHub delivered!

The performance, if we trust the benchmarks, put it at Sonnet 4.6.

Let’s see if it’s worth it with GitHubs pricing.

When will DeepSeek be available?

Where is the inference running?

Who really cares? The model multipliers and the artificial currency were the final nail in the Github Copilot coffin.

Yes significantly cheaper to run compared to the other models, tried it for an hour yesterday and the results look promising.

Saw in a discussion on Reddit that the team is evaluating glm5.2 so hopefully more to come!

Is GitHub Copilot the best positioned platform for enterprise? They support Claude, GPT, Gemini, and now even open weight models. Larger orgs are paying at API rates anyway so it costs just as much as anywhere else. They have a pretty good agent CLI and SDK, and now a desktop app. They have hosted agents, and you can run their 'Agentic Workflows' in CI.

Has their reputation tanked so much that the alternatives get all the buzz? Or is it that non-enterprise users are priced out by the usage costs, so no free marketing?

Looks like it’s the same price on Fireworks AI?
