GitHub Copilot supports multiple modelseach with different strengths. Some models prioritize speed and cost-efficiencywhile others are optimized for accuracyreasoningor working with multimodal inputs (like images and code together).
Depending on your Copilot plan and where you're using it—such as GitHub.com or an IDE—you may have access to different models.
Note
- Model availability is subject to change. Some models may be replaced or updated over time.
- In Visual Studio Code you can add more models than those that are available by default with your Copilot subscription. See Changing the AI model for GitHub Copilot Chat.
For all of the default AI modelsinput prompts and output completions run through GitHub Copilot's content filters for harmfuloffensiveor off-topic contentand for public code matching when enabled.

Evaluation models
GitHub Copilot offers access to evaluation models—including top-performing open source and open-weight models—to provide the most advanced coding suggestions available.
Note
Testing of evaluation models has revealed that some may perform worse than other models on security-related or other categories of prompts. Customers are encouraged to validate codeincluding code securityusing a range of models and thorough human review before incorporating suggestions into production.
Evaluation models may be addedupdatedor removed without notice. Availability and rate limits may differ from generally available models.
