Agents

View your additional spend usage in VS Code

To make sure you stay ahead of overage charges, the Copilot status dashboard now shows the percentage of your additional Copilot budget that you've consumed, so you can adjust your usage before you hit your configured limit. You can view detailed usage and manage your additional spend in the Copilot settings.

Language Models

Install model providers from the Language Models editor

Beyond Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) models, extensions can contribute their own model providers. Previously, to find such an extension, you needed to know the right tag (language-models) to search for in the Extensions view. Now the Language Models editor has an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to discover and install them. After you install a provider, its models appear in the model picker alongside any others you have configured. To learn more, see the language models documentation.

Integrated Browser

Web search from address bar

Setting: workbench.browser.searchEngine Look up information without leaving VS Code: type a query into the integrated browser's address bar and it runs against your configured search engine, the same way it would in a standalone browser. Use the workbench.browser.searchEngine setting to pick which search engine to use.

Browse over remote connections (Preview)

Setting: workbench.browser.enableRemoteProxy When the integrated browser is opened in a remote workspace, web traffic over HTTP(S) can now be proxied via the remote connection. This lets you securely connect to any ports or services that are only accessible from the remote machine. This is a preview feature, so you might encounter bugs. Enable the workbench.browser.enableRemoteProxy setting to try it out, and file any issues you encounter in the VS Code repository.

Better agentic interaction with forwarded ports

If you have forwarded a port in a remote workspace, previously agents could have difficulty opening the browser due to a potentially different port number. Now, if an agent requests a port that has been forwarded (and the remote proxy is not enabled), the URL is rewritten and the agent is notified of the change.

Editor Experience

Extension auto-update setting

Setting: extensions.autoUpdate You can enable or disable automatic extension updates with the extensions.autoUpdate setting. In this release, we simplified the setting to use on and off values. Previous values such as true, false, onlyEnabledExtensions, and delayed are migrated automatically. When auto-update is enabled, VS Code updates only enabled extensions. Disabled extensions are no longer updated automatically. They update the next time you enable them. Note: Administrators can centrally manage the extensions.autoUpdate and extensions.autoUpdateDelay settings with enterprise policies.

Configurable extension auto-update delay

Setting: extensions.autoUpdateDelay To give you more control over when extension updates are installed, you can now configure a delay for automatic extension updates. This builds on the delayed extension auto-updates feature introduced in the previous release. Use the extensions.autoUpdateDelay setting to configure the delay in hours. By default, VS Code waits two hours before installing extension updates. The delay only applies when auto-update is enabled.

Extension Authoring

Language Server Protocol

Extension authors who build language servers can now adopt the latest protocol features by updating to version 3.18 of the Language Server Protocol. The corresponding VS Code client and server packages are available as vscode-languageclient@10.0.0 and vscode-languageserver@10.0.0. For the full list of protocol additions and breaking changes, see the vscode-languageserver-node changelog.

Enterprise

Native MDM delivery for managed Copilot settings

Administrators can now deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to the account-based enterprise settings file. This builds on the enterprise-managed Copilot plugin policies and lets organizations enforce Copilot configuration using their existing device management tooling, without depending on per-user sign-in to apply policy. For developers, settings delivered through MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and cannot be overridden locally. Future updates expand the set of supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces.
