## About code suggestions in {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %}
{% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} in {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} provides two kinds of code suggestions:
* **Ghost text suggestions**
* {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} offers coding suggestions as you type. You can also describe something you want to do using natural language within a comment, and {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} will suggest the code to accomplish your goal.
* **{% data variables.copilot.next_edit_suggestions_caps %} ({% data variables.release-phases.public_preview %})**
* Based on the edits you are making, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} will predict the location of the next edit you are likely to make and suggest a completion for it. Suggestions may span a single symbol, an entire line, or multiple lines, depending on the scope of the potential change. To enable {% data variables.copilot.next_edit_suggestions %}, see [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/managing-copilot/configure-personal-settings/configuring-github-copilot-in-your-environment#enabling-next-edit-suggestions).

## Code suggestions that match public code
{% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} checks each suggestion for matches with publicly available code. Any matches are discarded or suggested with a code reference, based on the setting of the "Suggestions matching public code" policy for your account or organization. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/concepts/completions/code-referencing).
## About the AI model used for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} inline suggestions
{% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} inline suggestions use the {% data variables.copilot.copilot_gpt_41 %} {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} model. The {% data variables.copilot.copilot_gpt_41 %} {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} model was trained on a wide range of high quality public {% data variables.product.github %} repositories, providing coverage of over 30 programming languages. See [Programming languages included in the default model](#programming-languages-included-in-the-default-model) below.
