Env (short for environment) is a group of models, agent and settings. Env makes it easier for the users to prepare the environment for their needs. Selecting an env with a given intent will make sure all needed servers are available. One env could contain up to 4 different models - for completions, chat, embeddings, tools. Env could also contain an agent and settings for enabling/disabling completions, rag and starting last selected env on startup. If the user wants to use only code completions functionality, he/she could select an env with only one model for completions. If the user wants to use all the functionality from llama-vscode, he/she could select an env with full package of models.

Select env for your needs from llama-vscode ui or from llama-vscode menu, "Select/start env...". This will select the models inside an env (and start the corresponding local servers), agent aand set the settings. Deselect env from llama-vscode ui or from llama-vscode menu, "Deselect/stop env...". This deselect all models and agent (and stops the locally running servers, started by llama-vscode). The settings will not be changed.

There is a page in llama-vscode UI with the current environment details. From there it is possible to change the current environment and also save it (i.e. create a new env)
