Super excited to bring hundreds of state-of-the-art open models (Kimi K2, Qwen3 Next, gpt-oss, Aya, GLM 4.5, Deepseek 3.1, Hermes 4, and dozens new ones every day) directly into @code & @Copilot, thanks to @huggingface inference providers! This is powered by our amazing partners

That 128 tool limit is GONE in @code! Virtual tools just landed and now give you huge flexibility to add more #MCP servers and more extensions to extend agent mode. I break it all down: https://t.co/l7j3h4ZVY9

👋 Claude Opus 4.1 in VS Code's Chat. Announced today and already available in @code. That +0.1 version is an impressive jump. It hits 74.5% on SWE-bench Verified, surpassing Opus 4 and Sonnet 3.7 for multi-file bug-fix tasks. Happy smarter hacking
