shortTitle: 'Change the chat model'
|
|
intro: 'Learn how to change the default LLM for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_short %} to a different model.'

By default, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_short %} uses a base model to provide fast, capable responses for a wide range of tasks, such as summarization, knowledge-based questions, reasoning, math, and coding.
|
|
|
|
However, you are not limited to using this model. You can choose from a selection of other models, each with its own particular strengths. You may have a favorite model that you like to use, or you might prefer to use a particular model for inquiring about a specific subject.
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE] Different models have different premium request multipliers, which can affect how much of your monthly usage allowance is consumed. For details, see [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/managing-copilot/monitoring-usage-and-entitlements/about-premium-requests).
|
|
|
|
{% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} allows you to change the model during a chat and have the alternative model used to generate responses to your prompts.
|
|
|
|
Changing the model that's used by {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_short %} does not affect the model that's used for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} code completion. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/using-github-copilot/ai-models/changing-the-ai-model-for-copilot-code-completion).

## Changing your AI model
|
|
|
|
These instructions are for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} on the {% data variables.product.github %} website. For instructions on different clients, click the appropriate tab at the top of this page.

{% data reusables.copilot.model-picker-enable-alternative-models %}
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE] If you use {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_extensions_short %}, they may override the model you select.
|
|
|
|
1. In the top right of any page on {% data variables.product.github %}, click {% octicon "triangle-down" aria-label="The downwards triangle icon" %} beside the **{% octicon "copilot" aria-hidden="true" %}** icon and click **Immersive** in the dropdown menu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. At the top of the immersive view, select the **CURRENT-MODEL** {% octicon "chevron-down" aria-hidden="true" %} dropdown menu, then click the AI model of your choice.
|
|
|
|
1. Optionally, after submitting a prompt, you can regenerate the same prompt using a different model by clicking the retry icon ({% octicon "sync" aria-label="The re-run icon" %}) below the response. The new response will use your selected model and maintain the full context of the conversation.
