GitHub Copilot supports custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints. You can route Copilot through Kyma to access 20+ open source models.

​
Configuration

In VS Code, open Settings (Cmd+,) and search for github.copilot:
  1. Set Copilot: Advanced → API URL to:
https://kymaapi.com/v1
  1. Set your Kyma API key in the authentication field.
Alternatively, set environment variables: 
export OPENAI_API_KEY="kyma-your-api-key"
export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://kymaapi.com/v1"

Notes

  • Kyma is OpenAI-compatible, so any Copilot setup that supports custom OpenAI endpoints will work.
  • For inline completions, use a fast model like qwen-3-32b or alias fast.
