VSCodium 1.140.06880, maintained by @daiyam, has removed GitHub Copilot, Claude Agent, and Codex SDKs from its build, contrasting Microsoft's approach of integrating these AI tools. This community build tracks Microsoft's VS Code 1.140.0 milestone but excludes AI toolchains entirely, remaining telemetry-free and utilizing the open-source Open VSX registry. Although users can still install these SDKs manually, the default build cannot auto-provision them, leading to a loss of certain agent functionalities. VSCodium continues to be recognized for its privacy-friendly features, with comprehensive packaging available across various platforms and an open-source, reproducible build pipeline

VSCodium 1.140.06880 Removes Copilot, Claude, and Codex AI SDKs

VSCodium 1.140.06880 by maintainer @daiyam, strips GitHub Copilot's, Anthropic's Claude Agent, and OpenAI's Codex SDKs straight out of the VS Code source tree. The community build tracks Microsoft's VS Code 1.140.0 milestone but does the opposite of what Microsoft is doing, deleting the AI toolchains entirely rather than bolting them on. It remains telemetry-free and MIT-licensed, though it uses the open-source Open VSX registry and sacrifices the agent features its own patches already dial back. You can still install Copilot or Codex manually, but the default build is now structurally incapable of auto-provisioning them.
