Visual Studio 2026 GPT-5.6 models unusable in agent mode

4 Upvotes

Ends up in exception after a couple of questions. If switched to an Anthtopic model and typed "continue", agent completes the same task without problems.

So far there has not been a single task assigned to a gpt-5.6 model that it managed to complete without crash. In case a Visual Studio employee reads this: 5 minutes of manual testing are enough to reproduce this, really. I know you are only doing Vibe-coding nowadays, but please do some tests by a human before publishing.
