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 %}.

{% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection_short_cap_a %} is available in the following IDEs:

  • {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode_shortname %}
