Copilot Free and Student plans will now use Copilot auto model selection as the default and only model selection experience. Auto dynamically selects the best model for each task, removing the need for manual choice. Auto provides access to models across multiple model families, subject to plan restrictions. For more information, see our documentation on supported models in auto mode.

As part of this simplification, we are also retiring the (Preview) label from Microsoft-released models. With Copilot auto model selection managing model routing and continuous improvements happening behind the scenes, these labels are no longer needed to guide user decisions.
