Enterprises can default to auto model selection

GitHub announced that enterprise administrators can now set Copilot to auto model selection by default for new conversations via the managed-settings.json file. The setting applies to users licensed through Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise, though users can still switch models per conversation.

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.
