To use an AI agent in VSCode you’ll need an extension called Continue.dev, but it’s a pain to use.

There are alternatives to VSCode with builtin AI solutions, like Cline or Zed.

As a Mac user, I prefer Zed.

I think what you meant is Agentic coding, answer is Cline. Configure the Cline extension to point to this local lm studio server URL.

Roo Code is another good option.

vscode using what coding agent?

[–]woolcoxm 1 point2 points  (1 child)

you can use extensions to do this in vscode, cline, roocode, kilo code(i like this one best)

they will have configuration options for lmstudio inside the settings.

if you download the insiders copy of vscode you can setup lmstudio inside copilot.

Hi! How to setup LM Studio to Copilot in VS Code?

[–]alokin_09 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yeah. Install Kilo Code first, then connect LM Studio and you can start working. Here's how: https://kilo.ai/docs/providers/lmstudio

You can try continue.  There are many now.

Can't too difficult

So VS Code Insiders actually has support for plugging in any OAI compatible API into GitHub Copilot, while VS Code currently only supports Ollama or by using the Cline or Continue extensions (or the llama.cpp extension for FIM).

[–]breadles5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kilo code extension. Thank me later.

[–]webitube -1 points0 points  (2 children)

VSCode Copilot now supports Ollama directly. So, if you're willing to switch, it should work.

[–]General-Cookie6794[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used continue but I'll try the copilot thing but I just don't want to feed sensitive data out there.

[–]chefranov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me Ollama directly work only Ask/Plan mode. I can't use in agent mode.
