Exploring VS Code's AI features alongside top models like Claude Code and Codex

Short summary

VS Code's new Agents view enables multi-agent, project-wide AI task management—agents can build features, debug, refactor, and modify files across your codebase without manual back-and-forth. Unlike Copilot's chat overlay or single-agent tools like Codex and Claude Code, Agents view supports parallel task execution, full terminal access, and autonomous error fixing. Available now, it represents a paradigm shift from AI-as-autocomplete to AI-as-implementer.
