Microsoft adds multi-agent workflows to VS Code 1.140 for developers
Microsoft released VS Code version 1.140 on September 30, 2026, focusing on AI-driven workflows for developers. The update introduces multi-folder sessions, allowing separate chats to target different repositories or isolated worktrees. Each chat maintains its own terminal, tasks, and pull requests, enabling parallel testing of approaches or managing features spanning multiple repos. This…
Key points
- Multi-folder sessions let separate VS Code chats target different repos or worktrees, with isolated terminals and pull requests
- HydraFusion auto-selects workflows (single-model, cascaded checks, or critique) for coding tasks without manual model switching
- Remote delegation enables agents to offload tasks to connected machines based on their specs, but requires prior setup
The update also introduces HydraFusion, an adaptive system for model-level coordination that dynamically selects workflows—single-model handling, cascaded checks, or critique-based refinement—without manual intervention. HydraFusion is a research preview, available only to Copilot Pro, Pro+, Business, and Enterprise users. Additionally, remote delegation lets agents discover and utilize resources across connected hosts, selecting machines based on OS, CPU, and memory. Like other new features, this is experimental and off by default, requiring prior remote host connections.
