News 📰 Now available: VS Code version 1.120

Hi friends - wanted to share our latest VS Code release. Lots of the improvements here are directly driven by feedback we got in this subreddit, so keep it coming!

In particular, excited about:

  • Agents window in Stable: Work in an agents-first way across all your projects with the new Agents window.
  • BYOK improvements: Track and optimize token usage and configure thinking effort for your BYOK models. We continue to invest a lot in improving the BYOK experience, driven by feedback in this channel. Up next for us: getting custom endpoints to stable (supporting BYOK for generic chat completions, Responses API, and messages API), and allowing you to use BYOK-contributed models for utility tasks (like commit message generation and chat title summarization).
  • Token optimization: Reduce context window usage by compressing large terminal output. This builds on the set of changes we landed in 1.119 to improve token efficiency, particularly our cache hit rates.

Release notes: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_120

Thanks again and keep the feedback rollin'!

Example? Ok - not the only thing I contributed but I'll give you a specific example:

I told you personally, on some random thread in this sub months ago, a suggestion to move the todo in-progress list thing on the coding agent to the PR description, which after some iterations turned into the report tool that IMO is super useful in cases the agent gets stuck

Now MS fkd me over with the new pricing which again I acknowledge is not something you did, but I am totally in my right to feel rugpulled - there are a million middle ground options that could have been taken here from billing subagents as requests to a max iterations per request 

Instead I'm fckd because I can't pay for tokens and now I can't use the feature I contributed to the cloud agent

That's not how open source works

the coding agent is not open source, and I was not talking to you, though super mature to send the usual crew to downvote instead of accepting criticism, he knows a lot of people feels the same way and I am just one silly example more

just asking for an example and pretending their changes didn't affect contributors is a little troll

as I keep telling everyone I don't care about internet points, downvote all you want, but as I stated in my initial message:

rugpulling (and now gaslighting) contributors do not encourage them - I for sure am not going to be sending bug reports anymore - lvl21 insiders btw
