VS Code now maintains AI context across devices

Key points

• Microsoft announced a new version of Visual Studio Code during its Build 2026 developer conference.
• Version 1.123 focuses primarily on further integrating AI functionality into developers’ daily workflows.
• Of particular note is the ability to synchronize AI context and work sessions across different devices.
• Developers logged in with a GitHub account can now take not only chat conversations but also modified files, repository information, and linked pull requests with them to another machine.
• This should make it easier to seamlessly continue work, regardless of where a session is resumed, according to Neowin.
