In preview, Copilot Pro and Copilot Free users can now bring your own key (BYOK) for popular providers such as Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama, and Open Router. This allows you to use new models that aren’t supported natively by Copilot the very first day that they’re released.

He reindexado los 150.000 anuncios del @BOCantabria y en ratos libres estoy haciendo un portal alternativo al oficial y que funciona guay™️. Me motiva lograr que #Cantabria tenga el mejor boletín digital de España. Y que buscar en él deje de ser un dolor de muelas. Así va 😍👇
