Visual Studio 18.10 integrates new GitHub Copilot Agent, shifts BYOK to preview

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Visual Studio 18.10 introduces a new preview version of the GitHub Copilot Agent, which now exclusively supports Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) functionality. This change has led to the deprecation of older agent modes like 'ask' and 'plan' for custom models, a move the author finds disappointing due to a perceived lack of interface readiness and feature regression. While some bugs in model management have been fixed, issues persist, particularly with integrating custom models from providers like OpenWebUI that do not support specific API endpoints required by Visual Studio.

IMPACT This update streamlines BYOK for GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio but removes older modes, potentially impacting developers relying on custom model configurations.

RANK_REASON This is a software update for an existing tool, not a new frontier release, significant industry move, or research paper.

    Visual Studio 18.10：新的 GitHub Copilot Agent 在之前 Visual Studio 2026 的 18.9.0 就有提到過了，在 18.10 將會正式引進基於 GitHub Copilot CLI 的預覽版 agent、會提供更好的 BYOK 的功能；而這次的更新，終於帶來了半成品等級的新的預覽版 agent。 由於個人對新的 agent 效果還滿好奇的，所以之前還有特別裝 Insider 版起來玩，但是其實結果算是滿失望的…其實不是說預覽版的 agent 不好，而是微軟根本沒有把必要的介面修改、測試完、就直接上線…
