Choosing the Right GitHub Copilot Model for Every Technical Task
Choosing the right GitHub Copilot model family can improve the quality, speed, and cost of your work across development, architecture, platform engineering, and analysis. This session explains how Copilot selects models, how to override those choices, and how to match model families to different types of technical tasks. You will learn how Copilot behaves across VS Code, Visual Studio, GitHub.com, the CLI, and the Agent Window, and how features like Copilot Instructions, AGENT.md, skills, and custom agents influence model behavior. The session gives you a practical framework for selecting the right model family and getting the best results for the best price.
