The new @code release supports BYOK without a GitHub sign-in, making it easier to use your own language models or run workflows using local models like Ollama. Check out what’s new: 🌐 Integrated Browser now includes device emulation for faster responsive testing, plus one-click screenshots to attach browser context directly to chat 🛠️ Custom Endpoint is now in Stable, so you can connect enterprise or self-hosted AI endpoints directly in VS Code

Using skills with lots of tool calls or research? In @code, you can now run skills in a dedicated sub agent so your main chat context stays clean and focused ⚡

🧩 MCP does way more than you think Beyond tool lookups, MCP can connect Copilot to databases, APIs, and internal systems, plus power richer app-like experiences in chat. 🔗 Register: build.microsoft.com/en-US/sessions…

If you want your "I know how to use AI coding agents" confidence crushed, try the new experimental ⁠@GitHubCopilot /chronicle:cost-tips⁠ feature in ⁠@code⁠ It pulls your local/remote sessions (remote gives you the deep, per-turn usage telemetry) Then it goes from high-level summaries all the way down to a breakdown of those lazy moments you just prompted "continue" and expected it to architect a $1B SaaS platform With usage billing hitting Copilot next week, it’s a massive reality check on how much token spend your context window stuffing is actually costing 📉 And actually - this is much appreciated @code team. Thank you 🙏
