Intelligent local model routing is coming to GitHub Copilot

GitHub Copilot is extending intelligent model orchestration from the cloud down to your local machine. Copilot can automatically discover installed local models from providers like Ollama and Microsoft Foundry Local without manual setup. And soon intelligent routing will offload workflows like simple tasks, codebase explanations, and background automations to an on-device model for zero AI credits. Watch to learn how local model routing works online and completely offline.
