## Overview
|
|
|
|
By default, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} code completion uses the GPT 3.5 Turbo large language model (LLM). As an alternative, you can choose to use a model based on GPT 4o-mini. This model has been trained on a wide range of high quality public {% data variables.product.github %} repositories, providing coverage of over 30 programming languages. Its knowledge base is more current than the default model and you may find that it generates completion suggestions more quickly.
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> * Multiple model support for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} code completion is in {% data variables.release-phases.public_preview %} and is subject to change.
|
|
> * Currently the ability to switch AI model is available in the latest releases of {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode_shortname %} and JetBrains IDEs, with the latest version of the {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} extension.
|
|
|
|
## Effects of switching the AI model
|
|
|
|
Changing the model that's used for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} code completion does not affect the model that's used by {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_short %}. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/using-github-copilot/ai-models/changing-the-ai-model-for-copilot-chat).
|
|
|
|
There are no changes to the data collection and usage policy if you change the AI model.
|
|
|
|
If you are on a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_free_short %} subscription, all completions count against your completions quota regardless of the model used. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/about-github-copilot/subscription-plans-for-github-copilot#comparing-copilot-subscriptions).
|
|
|
|
The setting to enable or disable suggestions that match public code are applied irrespective of which model you choose. See [AUTOTITLE](/enterprise-cloud@latest/copilot/using-github-copilot/finding-public-code-that-matches-github-copilot-suggestions).
|
|
|
|
## Enabling the model switcher
|
|
|
|
{% ifversion fpt %}
|
|
|
|
If you have a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_free_short %} or {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_pro_short %} subscription, the model switcher for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} code completion is automatically enabled.
