GitHub Copilot auto model selection now routes to the best model for your task in Copilot CLI, using utilization and model health metrics for a high quality, reliable, and token-efficient experience.

How it works

Auto weighs real-time model availability and reliability signals, then evaluates your task across several dimensions like reasoning, code generation complexity, bug diagnosis difficulty, and tool orchestration needs to select the optimal model.

Stay in control: Switch between Auto and any specific model at any time with the /model command.

Respects your policies: Auto honors all model policies set by admins.
