Summary
GitHub's monthly roundup of VS Code v1.123–v1.127 Copilot changes covers new cost-visibility tooling, unified model-provider discovery, and a more hands-off "Autopilot" permission mode, on top of the already-covered agentic browser-tools GA.
Key Takeaways
- Cost visibility now spans full chat sessions, delegated subagent work, and other Copilot spend, viewable from the status dashboard.
- Model provider discovery and installation now happens directly in VS Code's Language Models editor, with adjustable context size and reasoning effort per model.
- Autopilot (the act-without-checking-in permission level) is now more autonomous and better at completing tasks unattended.
- Managed Copilot settings can be pushed via native Windows/macOS device management or a JSON file for unenrolled machines.
