Announcing the AI Toolkit for Visual Studio Code
Announcing the AI Toolkit for Visual Studio Code, available now in the Visual Studio Marketplace. This powerful extension lets developers explore, fine-tune, and integrate top models from Azure AI Studio and HuggingFace into their apps. The AI Toolkit evolved from the Windows AI Studio extension released in November 2023, addressing user feedback for a cross-platform experience. Key features include a curated model catalog optimized for Windows and Linux (MacOS models coming soon), a model playground for local experimentation, advanced fine-tuning techniques, detailed evaluations, and easy deployment to Azure. Enjoy high-performance inferencing with OnnxRuntime and DirectML, leveraging GPUs, NPUs, and CPUs on Windows. Start building and fine-tuning projects within VS Code today!Using Visual Studio Code from a docker image locally or remotely via VS Online
A development container is a running Docker container with a well-defined tool/runtime stack and its prerequisites. The Remote - Containers extension in the Remote Development extension pack allows you to open any folder mounted into or inside a dev container and take advantage of VS Code's full development feature set.Visual Studio Code AI Toolkit: Run LLMs locally
AI Toolkit is here Getting the LLMs/ SLMs on our local machines. This toolkit lets us easily download the models on our local machine. Evaluation of the model. Whenever we need to evaluate a model to check for the feasibility to any particular application, then this tool lets us do it in a playground environment, which is what we will seeing in this blog. Fine-tuning, this majorly delas with training the model further to do the tasks that we specifically want the model to do. Usually, it does a generic task and has generic data, with fine-tuning we can give it a particular flavor to perform particular task.Using Visual Studio Notebooks for learning C#
