Copilot can offer different AI model options depending on your plan and product configuration. Model choice can affect speed, quality, and energy usage.

Where to choose models

Open Copilot in a deck and use the model selector when it is available. Some accounts may see different options depending on plan, rollout, or configuration.

How model choice affects usage

  • Some models are faster and more efficient for everyday questions.

  • Some models are better for deeper reasoning or longer source analysis.

  • Different models can draw different amounts from your shared energy balance.

Where to see live costs

Open Settings β†’ Usage to see current action and model costs for your account. Use that page as the source of truth because available models and costs can change.

Tips

  • Use a faster default model for quick source questions.

  • Use a stronger model when you need deeper synthesis, debugging, or careful reasoning.

  • Select only the sources you need before asking Copilot. Smaller source scope can make answers more focused.
