## Introduction

{% data variables.copilot.copilot_pro %} and {% data variables.copilot.copilot_pro_plus %} users can select the model used by {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %}.

> [!NOTE] Model selection for {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} is only supported when starting a task from the agents tab or panel, assigning an issue to {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} and from the Raycast launcher. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/how-tos/use-copilot-agents/coding-agent/create-a-pr).

You may find that different models perform better, or provide more useful responses, depending on the type of tasks you give {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}.

Support for selecting a model is coming soon for {% data variables.copilot.copilot_for_business %} and {% data variables.copilot.copilot_enterprise %} users. Until then, for these users, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} will use {% data variables.copilot.copilot_claude_sonnet_45 %}. {% data variables.product.company_short %} reserves the right to change the model used at any time.

## Supported models

The following options are currently available:

* Auto 
{% data reusables.copilot.copilot-coding-agent-auto-models %}
{% data reusables.copilot.copilot-coding-agent-non-auto-models %}
