Microsoft Open Sources Copilot

When they sell you another way to spy on you as a feature, like they always did...

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

jeroen79•8mo ago
Hope they also stop automatically pushing all these ai crap into vscode, its useless to experienced developers.
madduci•8mo ago
Right? I have to dodge the suggestions every time I want to use the Tab button.
tomtom1337•8mo ago
Turn it off?
TowerTall•8mo ago
How?
drdeca•8mo ago
From https://np.reddit.com/r/vscode/comments/1ax4cnt/how_do_i_dis... I find a suggestion that if you use Ctrl+Shift+P to open the keyboard shortcuts menu, and then search for "suggest", there will be an option there to disable it.

Also, the website for visual studio code seems to suggest that the copilot/LLM based suggestions are only present if you have the extension for it installed. (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editing/intellisense#_enh... ). If this is true, then (according to https://bobbyhadz.com/blog/uninstall-extensions-vscode ) you can either click "extensions" on the right side-bar or press Ctrl+Shift+X to open the extensions menu, type the name of the extension or select it from the installed extensions list, and then either click uninstall or disable depending on whether you want to to uninstall it or just disable it.

I don't have visual studio code installed, so I haven't tried these solutions, but I imagine that they will probably solve your problem. Hope this helps.

It's not Copilot being open-sourced, just a VSCode extensions.
denysvitali•8mo ago
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.

They’re afraid Cursor is going to drift away from VS Code.
behnamoh•8mo ago
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.
nailer•8mo ago
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?
behnamoh•8mo ago
yes, I got excited after that major update and tried VSC, but it was not ironed out and clearly they got their system prompts wrong.
rubslopes•8mo ago
It's much better now, but it only works well with Sonnet 3.7.
atonse•8mo ago
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.

jitbit•8mo ago
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.

rpozarickij•8mo ago
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).
