| | ## Overview |
| |
|
| | Experience less rate limiting and reduce the mental load of choosing a model by letting {% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection %} automatically choose the best available model on your behalf. |
| | |
| | {% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection %} is currently optimized for model availability, choosing from a list of models that may change over time. It currently chooses from {% data variables.copilot.copilot_gpt_41 %}, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_gpt_5_mini %}, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_gpt_51_codex_max %}, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_claude_haiku_45 %}, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_claude_sonnet_45 %}, and {% data variables.copilot.copilot_gemini_3_pro %}, based on your subscription type. |
| |
|
| | With {% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection %}, you benefit from: |
| | * Reduced chances of rate limiting |
| | * Discounted multipliers for paid plans |
| | |
| | > [!NOTE] Soon {% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection %} will choose the best model for you by taking into account both model availability and your task. |
| | |
| | > [!TIP] To see which model was used for each response, hover over the response in {% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat_short %}. |
| |
|
