VS Code agent host runs Copilot, Claude, and Codex in a dedicated process

Visual Studio Code version 1.129 introduces a dedicated agent host process that runs AI coding agents like Copilot, Claude, and Codex using the Agent Host Protocol. Each agent session now runs in its own isolated process rather than within the main editor window, improving resource management and stability.

Why it matters: Developers using multiple AI coding assistants should understand this architectural change affects performance, session stability, and resource consumption when managing concurrent agent workloads.

VS Code agent host runs Copilot, Claude, and Codex in a dedicated process

Visual Studio Code 1.129 introduces a dedicated agent host process that runs artificial intelligence (AI) coding agents such as Copilot, Claude, and Codex using the Agent Host Protocol. This architecture isolates each agent session in its own process, enabling developers to manage multiple AI coding tools without maintaining separate editor windows.

Why it matters: Development teams using multiple AI coding assistants should evaluate whether the dedicated process isolation improves stability, performance, or security posture for their workflows.
