It's not Copilot being open-sourced, just a VSCode extensions.

    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.

    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.

      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?

        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.

Hope they also stop automatically pushing all these ai crap into vscode, its useless to experienced developers.

    Right? I have to dodge the suggestions every time I want to use the Tab button.

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.
