It's not "just" a VSCode extension. This is literally the key to use Copilot on non-Microsoft builds of VSCode - eventually even implementing a .copilotignore and supporting Copilot on stuff like GitPod / GitLab's workspaces.
the quality gap between agentic AI in Cursor and VSC is like night and day. If VSC would add LM Studio/llama.cpp support, it could win some programmers.
Is there a good way to replicate cursor tab in VS code? I don’t mean the interaction model, but how accurate it is. What model does Cursor use? It’s quite good AND fast.
I haven’t had the time to try it, but apparently a few weeks ago Copilot had a major update. Maybe someone else I can use can come in how it performs vs Cursor?
I wonder whether they have plans to open source the JetBrains Copilot extension as well. It feels like it's receiving much less attention than the VS Code extension (which is understandable).
So they make "building your own Cursor" easier. But at the same time they ban your fork from using Extension Marketplace.
For context: last month they banned Cursor and all other forks from using C++, C# Dev Kit, Python and other extensions. Guess this was preparation for this move.

And the title is misleading. It reads like they open source the AI.
