Developers can now access hundreds of inference providers and switch between specialized models like DeepSeek V3.1, GLM 4.5, and Kimi K2 without leaving their editor. The integration offers flexibility to choose models optimized for specific programming languages, frameworks, or domains, breaking free from proprietary model limitations. The extension requires VS Code 1.104.0 or newer and offers a free tier for experimentation with pay-as-you-go pricing for additional capacity. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
