On Feb 19th, we're hosting an event dedicated to how @code is evolving into the home for multi-agent development!
See live demos on topics like agent orchestration, shipping models, Copilot CLI, and so much more.
🔔 Set a reminder: youtube.com/live/tAezuMSJuFs
With hooks now being supported in @code, it's time to give you a way to share them with the community. Welcome to the latest member of the awesome-copilot family! github.com/github/awesome-co…
The model picker experience in @code is long overdue for an overhaul.
... so we're totally refreshing the model picker!
- Search
- Pin/favorite models
- Hide dated models
- See model details, like context window
- Control reasoning effort

VS Code and GitHub Copilot's daily builds now include release notes!

Announcing Agent HQ in VS Code: a unified agent experience directly in the editor.
Here's what that looks like...🧵
ALT A slide titled “Visual Studio Code – October Update [1.106]” with three columns of feature highlights.
Agent HQ: Agent Sessions view as mission control for agent tasks, OpenAI Codex integration, built-in planning agent, custom agents and handoffs, inlined terminal panels in chat.
Security & Trust: Open sourcing inline suggestions, tool pre- and post-approval, expanded MCP auth support, control MCP server access with custom MCP registries, Linux device policy support.
Great coding experience: Copy text from deleted lines in diff editor, VS Code product icon refresh, Terminal IntelliSense GA, compare source control branches and tags.
So @code has this new homepage.
You can see in the background some binary, so I couldn't help but inspect the page, and yeah, the whole binary isn't repeated at random. It's all written in CSS.
So I decoded it to ASCII, and it says: HAPPY_CODING!
Thanks for all your feedback around @code terminal windows in x.com/Tyriar/status/19505306…
Many improvements around discoverability and UX just landed in Insiders! 🧵
I'm surprised how many people I've seen recently that are asking to open a @code terminal in a new window. We've had this feature for over a year at this point. Is the action too subtle? Where would you expect to see it?
GPT-5 is rolling out to @code today!
Starting today, GPT-5 is rolling out to all paid GitHub Copilot plans. GPT-5 is OpenAI's most capable model yet, bringing new advances in reasoning, coding, and chat.

Today, we're announcing plans to make VS Code an open source AI editor.
We believe AI development should stay true to VS Code's core principles: open, collaborative, and community-driven. Let's build the future of software development together.
