The model picker experience in @code is long overdue for an overhaul. ... so we're totally refreshing the model picker! - Search - Pin/favorite models - Hide dated models - See model details, like context window - Control reasoning effort What else would you like to see?

Announcing Agent HQ in VS Code: a unified agent experience directly in the editor. Here's what that looks like...🧵
A slide titled “Visual Studio Code – October Update [1.106]” with three columns of feature highlights. Agent HQ: Agent Sessions view as mission control for agent tasks, OpenAI Codex integration, built-in planning agent, custom agents and handoffs, inlined terminal panels in chat. Security & Trust: Open sourcing inline suggestions, tool pre- and post-approval, expanded MCP auth support, control MCP server access with custom MCP registries, Linux device policy support. Great coding experience: Copy text from deleted lines in diff editor, VS Code product icon refresh, Terminal IntelliSense GA, compare source control branches and tags.

So @code has this new homepage. You can see in the background some binary, so I couldn't help but inspect the page, and yeah, the whole binary isn't repeated at random. It's all written in CSS. So I decoded it to ASCII, and it says: HAPPY_CODING!

Thanks for all your feedback around @code terminal windows in xitter.cf/Tyriar/status/19505306… Many improvements around discoverability and UX just landed in Insiders! 🧵

I'm surprised how many people I've seen recently that are asking to open a @code terminal in a new window. We've had this feature for over a year at this point. Is the action too subtle? Where would you expect to see it?
