To the OP: I highly recommend you look into Continue.dev and ollama/lmstudio and running models on your own. Some of them are really good at autocomplete-style suggestions while others (like gpt-oss) can reason and use tools.
It's my goto copilot.

I've found Zed to be a step up from continue.dev - you can use your own models there also
really - no monthly subscriptions? i hate those but i am fine with bringing my own API URLs etc and paying. I'm building a router that will track all the free tokens from all the different providers and auto rotate them when daily tokens or time limits run out.
Continue and Zed.. gonna check them out, prompts in Cline are too long. I was thinking of just making my own VS Code extension but I need to try Claude Code with GLM 4.5 (heard it pairs nicely)
Can you use your GH Copilot subscription with Zed to leverage the Copilot subscription-provided models?
Yes, you can. IIRC both for the assistant/agent and code completions.
Zed is supreme but I have a need that Zed can’t scratch so I’m in VSCode :(
Same! I’ve been using Continue in VSCode and found most of the bigger Qwen models plus gpt-oss-120b to be great in agentic mode!
Do you use openrouter models with continue?
No, but only because our work has to be done on-prem, so we use our self-hosted LLM deployments. If that weren’t a limitation we would for sure
