VS Code

VS Code's native chat can be configured to use AI Bridge with the GitHub Copilot Chat extension's custom language model support.

Configuration

Important

You need the Pre-release version of the GitHub Copilot Chat extension and VS Code Insiders.

1. Open command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on Mac) and search for Chat: Open Language Models (JSON).
2. Paste the following JSON configuration, replacing <your-coder-session-token> with your Coder Session Token:

[
    {
        "name": "Coder",
        "vendor": "customoai",
        "apiKey": "your-coder-session-token>",
        "models": [
            {
                "name": "GPT 5.2",
                "url": "https://coder.example.com/api/v2/aibridge/openai/v1/chat/completions",
                "toolCalling": true,
                "vision": true,
                "thinking": true,
                "maxInputTokens": 272000,
                "maxOutputTokens": 128000,
                "id": "gpt-5.2"
            },
            {
                "name": "GPT 5.2 Codex",
                "url": "https://coder.example.com/api/v2/aibridge/openai/v1/responses",
                "toolCalling": true,
                "vision": true,
                "thinking": true,
                "maxInputTokens": 272000,
                "maxOutputTokens": 128000,
                "id": "gpt-5.2-codex"
            }
        ]
    }
]
