Enterprise administrators can now set model to auto in the enterprise managed-settings.json to make Copilot auto model selection the default for new conversations.
Add auto to .github-private/.github/copilot/managed-settings.json in your source organization for enterprise governance so new conversations start with Copilot auto model selection by default. Users can still switch to a different model on a per-conversation basis. GitHub Copilot automatically pulls and applies these settings for users licensed through your enterprise account with Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise.
Backward compatability
The model permission is available in VS Code 1.126+
The supported path for AI standards is copilot/managed-settings.json, with backward compatibility for .github/copilot/settings.json.
