Opilot is a VS Code extension designed to integrate the Ollama ecosystem directly into GitHub Copilot Chat. It enables developers to utilize any model from the Ollama library, including those run locally or in the cloud, as first-class participants within the Copilot Chat interface. Key features include a dedicated sidebar for managing Ollama models (pulling, running, inspecting, stopping, deleting), and a per-model settings panel for tuning parameters like temperature, context, and max tokens. The extension also supports tool calling for agentic workflows, vision capabilities for compatible models, and extended reasoning with 'Thinking' and 'Response' sections. For privacy, local models execute entirely on the user's machine, ensuring no data leaves the system. It also offers real-time token streaming for low-latency responses and secure token storage for remote Ollama instances.
