Enterprises can default to auto model selection

Enterprise administrators can now set model

to auto

in the enterprise managed-settings.json

to make Copilot auto model selection the default for new conversations.

Add auto

to .github-private/.github/copilot/managed-settings.json

in your source organization for enterprise governance so new conversations start with Copilot auto model selection by default. Users can still switch to a different model on a per-conversation basis. GitHub Copilot automatically pulls and applies these settings for users licensed through your enterprise account with Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise.

Backward compatability

• The model

permission is available in VS Code 1.126+ - The supported path for AI standards is copilot/managed-settings.json, with backward compatibility for.github/copilot/settings.json

. - If you’ve already configured a source organization for custom agents, this setting uses that same .github-private

repository. You can confirm that your configuration is active on the Agents page under AI controls in your enterprise settings.
