Your access to {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} models depends on:

• Your {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} plan.
• The client you're using (for example, {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}, {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %}, or JetBrains IDEs).
• Whether your organization or enterprise restricts access to specific models.

For information about the AI models available in {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}, see AUTOTITLE.

To learn how {% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat_short %} serves different AI models, see AUTOTITLE.

Setup for individual use

If you have a {% data variables.copilot.copilot_free_short %}, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_pro_short %}, or {% data variables.copilot.copilot_pro_plus_short %} plan, you may need to enable access to certain models before using them.

You can enable access in two ways:

• The first time you use a model with {% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat_short %} in your editor or in the immersive view of {% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat_short %}, you will be prompted to allow access to the model.

  Click Allow to enable the AI model and update the policy in your personal settings on {% data variables.product.github %}.

• You can enable the model directly in your personal settings on the {% data variables.product.github %} website. See AUTOTITLE.

Note

• Some models may not be available depending on your plan. See AUTOTITLE.
• Models available in {% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection %} will follow the policies set by users and align to individual plans. See AUTOTITLE.

Setup for organization and enterprise use

As an enterprise or organization owner, you can enable or disable access to AI models for everyone who has been assigned a {% data variables.copilot.copilot_enterprise_short %} or {% data variables.copilot.copilot_business_short %} seat through your enterprise or organization. See AUTOTITLE and AUTOTITLE.

[!NOTE] Models available in {% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection %} will follow the policies set for an organization or enterprise. See AUTOTITLE.
