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 on your behalf.
{% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection %} is currently optimized for model availability, choosing from a list of models that may change over time.
With {% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection %}, you benefit from:
- Reduced chances of rate limiting
- Discounted multipliers for paid plans ({% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat_short %} only)
{% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection_short_cap_a %} won't include these models:
- Models excluded by administrator policies. See AUTOTITLE.
- Models with premium request multipliers greater than one. See AUTOTITLE.
- Models not available in your plan. See AUTOTITLE.
[!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.
{% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection_short_cap_a %} in {% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat_short %}
{% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection_short_cap_a %} is generally available in the following IDEs:
- {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode_shortname %}
{% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection_short_cap_a %} is in public preview for the following IDEs:

When you select Auto in {% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat_short %}, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection_short_cap_a %} may choose from the following list of models, subject to your policies and subscription type. Models may change over time.
- {% data variables.copilot.copilot_gpt_41 %}
- {% data variables.copilot.copilot_gpt_5_mini %}
- {% data variables.copilot.copilot_gpt_51_codex_max %}
