I'm trying to use Claude Sonnet 3.5 from within my IDE, aiming for a similar experience to using GitHub Copilot for coding tasks. I've heard there's an Opus VSCode Extension available for this purpose.
Does anyone know if this extension also allows for viewing the output of code directly within the IDE? This is a feature in Claude Sonnet where you can enable 'Artifacts' to see your code's output. It would be great if I could do the same using the Opus VSCode Extension.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey everyone!
My friend an I recently got into Y Combinator and have been quietly working on a better Coding Copilot extension after 2 years of watching Github's team not fix UX bugs.
When Claude 3 Opus launched and it became clear that it was better than GPT-4 at coding, I immediately rolled it out to our extension and wanted to share it with everyone here. Happy to say that Double.bot is the first coding copilot VSCode extension that runs on Opus. You can try it here, first 50 messages a month are free, in-line code autocomplete is always free.
If you like a high quality UX + enjoy working with the most capable models (we have Opus and GPT-4 Turbo), then I'd love to get your feedback on the extension because that's precisely what we are going for :)
P.S: This is the first extension I've ever made so mostly looking to hear feedback from the community. I'm working on this 24/7 and will ship any suggestions ASAP.
EDIT: We now have Claude 3.5 Sonnet available too :)
For now you should either use Github Copilot account, or wait for an update in Copilot to support Claude 4 standalone API keys.
VS Code Copilot’s “bring your own key" model picker is currently allow-listing Anthropic models and Sonnet 4 isn’t on that list yet, so it won’t show up when you add your own Anthropic key. This has been acknowledged publicly by a VS Code/Copilot PM and tracked in the following GitHub issue.
