VS Code Weekly: BYOK Unlocks Model Freedom for Enterprise Teams

VS Code 1.117 shipped today, and buried in the release notes is a feature that changes everything for Enterprise and Business teams: Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) for language models. This isn't a minor convenience - it's Microsoft acknowledging that compliance, cost, and model diversity matter than ever, and teams need the freedom to route their AI workloads through the models they choose. If you've been blocked from using Copilot because your company requires specific models, regional endpoints, or cost controls, this is your unlock.
