In Copilot Settings just add correct custom model for chat and embedding.
For both separately set model name and provider.
API key might not be needed.
At the tab "Basic" of Copilot Settings select proper default models for Chat and Embedding
Make sure you can refresh the index
Try to chat

I just did it myself for Ollama provider, Llama3.2 for chat model and Bge-m3(Ollama) for embeddings
