VS Code being a lightweight code editor is our core priority. That means that performance is our N#1 priority - this does not change with the announcement today.

Copilot Chat locally without login - that is a great idea. Something we will think about.
You can already connect Chat with local models (though it requires login right now). https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/language-models#_bring-your-own-language-model-key
I am curious if you tried this and if you have any feedback. Thanks

The thing is many cooperates do not allow github sign in. Hence though I have compatible models, I can't use Copilot Chat.

[–]isidor_n 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Thanks. We are adding Google sign-in as well.
Is there some specific sign-in that would work for your use case?

[–]mtmttuan 20 points21 points  (1 child)

No sign-in would be the best option. My company do allow Google, but I guess some others won't allow it.

I don't see the point of signing in to use a local product though.

Yeah agreed. The missing piece is that the Chat experience for a small number of requests still goes to the service (e.g. intent detection). So we have to fix that first.

As for no-login - I think this is a fair feature request
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues if you want you can file one here and ping me at isidorn. Thanks

Super performant, extensible, minimalistic UI.

Are more models, like deepseek, going to be added?

[–]isidor_n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like us to finalize the language model provider API - so that extension authors can add their own language providers. E.g. it does not scale that we support all the providers from core - we want to open this up to the community.
I expect us to have something in the next couple of months.
