Microsoft has released the source code for Github Copilot Chat Extension for VS Code under MIT license.
This offers community access to the complete implementation of chat-based coding assistants, including the implementation of “agent mode”, sent relevant data for the design of large language models (LLM) and system.
Gitbub Repository code hosting In addition, description of telemetry collection mechanisms, while addressing questions about data transparency in AI-Assisted coding tools for a long time.
This step is considered First milestone A roadmap was first mentioned in May 2025, in a plan to integrate AI facilities directly to the AI facilities in the tech veteran’s plan.
The visual studio code launched in 2015 is one of the most widely used code editors and is a flagship open-source project from Microsoft. It is built on the electron framework and supports a wide range of programming languages and extensions.
Github Copilot is an AI for Copilot Chat VS code, allowing developers to be allowed to chat with the GPT4-based model inside the editor to receive assistance with coding tasks.
Given the meteorite growth of trends like LLM-assisted coding and “vibe coding”, it has reached a high level of popularity with more than extension. 35 million establishments VSCODE on Marketplace.

As VS Code Team First explainedShifts in the AI tooling landscape have reduced the rapid development of the Open-SOS AI ecosystem and a more level of playground for all, like a more level playground, the need for prompt engineering and privacy around UI design.
At the same time, the increasing targeting of development equipment by malicious actors has increased the need for crudersoring contribution to develop rapid pinpoint problems and effective improvements. Essentially, openness is now considered superior to the security perspective.
It is important to note that the code for the original Github Copilot Extension that shuts down the inline code perfection for powers. However, Microsoft confirmed the plan to convert its functionality into open Copilot Chat extensions in the coming months, consolidating all major AI features in a single open-source module.
The Copilot is now publicly available on Github with chat extensions, developers are invited to detect, contribute and provide their feedback. Is also available Fasting And complete documentation to direct developers through architecture and development process.
