### Session Context Window Usage at a Glance

Ever wonder how much of the conversation's context window has been consumed? The chat view now shows a context size donut indicator alongside the input area, with a popup that breaks down token usage for the current session. Auto compression is coming next.

### Custom Models (BYOK) for Copilot Business and Enterprise
23+
Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) is now available to GitHub Copilot Business and Enterprise users — in addition to Individual users — when enabled by their organization. Once your organization turns it on, you can configure your own API keys for supported providers and use the custom models directly in Copilot chat in Eclipse. If you don't see custom models enabled, reach out to your organization's administrator to turn the feature on.

This release brings improved support for ABAP development in Eclipse. Copilot now provides more accurate and context-aware chat responses for ABAP projects, and it can read directories and search within the locally cached files.
