VS Code 1.143: Copilot Default and Local AI With a Catch

Visual Studio Code 1.143 makes GitHub Copilot the default agent harness, adds experimental local AI inference that requires a 96GB GPU, and introduces multi-model comparison, byteiota reported. The release gives developers a built-in agent workflow and a way to compare model outputs, while the 96GB GPU requirement limits local inference to high-end hardware.
