A new VSCode extension allows GitHub Copilot to run models hosted on NEAR AI Cloud, a service built around private inference.

User prompts, model weights, and generated outputs are isolated from infrastructure providers, model owners, and NEAR AI itself. Input costs range from approximately $0.15 to $0.50 per million tokens, with the option to stake NEAR tokens as payment. The platform launched in December 2025 and has since integrated the SayGm and OpenRouter gateways.
