"Currently, you cannot connect to a local model for code completions", and "Currently, using a locally hosted models still requires the Copilot service for some tasks. Therefore, your GitHub account needs to have access to a Copilot plan (for example, Copilot Free) and you need to be online. This requirement might change in a future release." - from the page you linked.
