A dark slide titled ‘January Release version 1.109’ with the VS Code logo in the top-right corner. The content is organized into three columns. The first column, ‘Unified agents UX,’ lists: run parallel subagents, pick Copilot or other agents locally or in the cloud, and manage agent sessions. The second column, ‘Agent extensibility,’ lists: use MCP apps, load skills by default, and share organization‑level instructions. The third column, ‘New built‑in tools,’ lists: debug in the browser, render Mermaid diagrams directly in agent chat, and run sandboxed terminal commands on macOS and Linux.
