## Comparison of AI models for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %}
|

|

{% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} supports multiple AI models with different capabilities. The model you choose affects the quality and relevance of responses by {% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat_short %} and {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} code completion. Some models offer lower latency, while others offer fewer hallucinations or better performance on specific tasks. This guide helps you pick the best model based on your task, not just model names.
