Key point

GitHub Copilot's Free and Student plans will automatically switch to 'Auto' mode for model selection.

Details

GitHub is setting Auto mode as the default for Copilot Free and Student plan users, making it the only model selection experience.

Auto mode is designed to dynamically select the optimal model depending on the nature of the task, eliminating the need for users to manually choose a model each time. It also optimizes token consumption, providing users with more usage as an added benefit.

The range of available models depends on each plan's limitations, and specific changes can be found via the GitHub Changelog.
