GitHub Copilot in VS Code — June 2026 Releases: Parallel Sessions, Cost Visibility, Autopilot Improvements

What's new

• Parallel sessions and chats: run multiple sessions side by side and use multiple chats in one session for parallel workstreams (implementation, review, testing, documentation)
• Cost visibility: see total session cost and credit usage across subagents in a single view
• Model provider discovery: Language Models editor shows all providers and enables Marketplace installation from one place
• Improved Autopilot: agent completes tasks with less manual steering and better determines independently when work is finished
• Remote browser proxy (preview): integrated browser HTTP(S) traffic proxied through remote workspace connections

Why it matters

Parallel sessions are a key change for complex tasks — developers can work on multiple aspects simultaneously. Cost visibility is important for teams with limited AI credits.
