Hi Paolo,
Thanks for raising these questions.
At the moment, we do not have any further public roadmap details to share regarding future model updates or the VS Code base version used in Bob.
For publicly available Bob updates, you can keep an eye on the IBM Bob changelog here:
https://bob.ibm.com/docs/ide/changelog
Thanks for your understanding.

Hey all,
I have a couple of questions about the update cadence:
1. **VS Code base version** β Bob is currently sitting on VS Code 1.109.5, while upstream is already at 1.116. Is there a plan to close that gap and keep the base more up to date?
2. **Claude model** β it looks like Bob is currently using Claude Sonnet 3.x. Given that Anthropic has already released newer models, is there any timeline for an upgrade?
Would love to hear from the team or anyone who has more insight into the release roadmap!
Thanks π
