GitHub adds cost and quality tiers to Copilot auto model selection

GitHub Copilot auto model selection now offers efficiency, balance and intelligence tiers. GitHub says the choice controls how auto weighs cost, quality and response time, though its announcement does not quantify the trade-offs.

Key points

  1. Automatic model selection now has three named tiers: efficiency, balance and intelligence.
  2. GitHub says users can choose a tier to influence how auto weighs cost, quality and response time.

Why it matters

Teams using automatic model selection gain a setting for matching routing preferences to their work. The practical choice depends on how much each tier changes response time, output quality and cost.

What to watch

Look for documentation explaining the models available in each tier and measured differences in cost, latency and task results.
