Welcome to the January 2026 release of Visual Studio Code. In this release, we are further evolving VS Code to make it the home for multi-agent development.
- Chat UX: chat just feels better and snappier with faster streaming, improved reasoning results, and a revamped editor inline chat
- Agent Session Management: it's now easier to delegate tasks to agents across local, background, and cloud and jump in when needed
- Agent Customization: build your own workflows using agent orchestrations, and have consistent results with Agent Skills and organization-wide customizations
- Agent Extensibility: reuse your knowledge with Claude agent support and new Anthropic model capabilities, and enjoy rich chat interactions with MCP Apps
- Agent Optimizations: agents work smarter with Copilot Memory and experience faster code search with external indexing
- Agent Security & Trust: feel confident running terminal commands with sandboxing and effective auto-approval rules
- Workbench & productivity: test your apps without leaving the editor with the new integrated browser
