GitHub Copilot for JetBrains expands BYOK capabilities

What's new

• BYOK expansion: connect your own API keys from any model provider in JetBrains IDEs
• Model flexibility: choose model provider without platform restrictions
• Enterprise control: organizations can route queries through their own infrastructure
• Availability: all JetBrains IDE plans (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.)

Why it matters

BYOK is a critical feature for enterprises with strict data sovereignty, compliance, or cost-optimization requirements. Being able to bring your own keys means companies don't pay platform markup and data can remain in their own infrastructure.

How to try it

Configure in GitHub Copilot for JetBrains settings — model providers and API keys tab.
