AI BriefingVisual Studio adds support for custom LLMs
Key point
Visual Studio Insiders has updated its AI coding support feature to work with custom models such as Ollama.
Details
The May update for Visual Studio Insiders (VS26) and SQL Studio introduces support for Custom Model providers.
Moving beyond the existing dependency on GitHub Copilot, developers can now connect and use local/external models such as OpenCode and Ollama. This feature can be updated via the Visual Studio Installer.
Through this, developers can build an AI coding environment using local LLMs instead of expensive subscription services, or optimize costs.
