Hugging Face Brings Open-Source LLMs to GitHub Copilot Chat in VS Code

Hugging Face launched a VS Code extension that integrates open-source large language models with GitHub Copilot Chat. Developers can now access models like Kimi K2, DeepSeek V3.1, and GLM 4.5 directly within their editor through a unified interface. The integration requires VS Code version 1.104.0 and offers free tier access with pay-as-you-go pricing for higher usage.
