## 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.
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 %} chooses from {% data variables.copilot.copilot_gpt_41 %}, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_gpt_5_mini %}, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_gpt_5 %}, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_claude_haiku_45 %}, and {% data variables.copilot.copilot_claude_sonnet_45 %}, based on availability and to help reduce rate limiting. Included models may change over time.
{% 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_5 %}, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_claude_haiku_45 %}, and {% data variables.copilot.copilot_claude_sonnet_45 %}, 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 %} is available in the following IDEs:

Automatically selected models **won't** include these models:
* Models with premium request multipliers greater than one. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/reference/ai-models/supported-models#model-multipliers).
{% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection_short_cap_a %} **won't** include these models:
* Models excluded by individual or administrator policies. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/how-tos/use-ai-models/configure-access-to-ai-models).
* Models with premium request multipliers greater than one. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/reference/ai-models/supported-models#model-multipliers).
* Models not available in your plan. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/reference/ai-models/supported-models#supported-ai-models-per-copilot-plan).
