Choose Your Model When Mentioning @copilot in Pull Requests
GitHub has added model selection capability to the @copilot mention workflow in pull request comments.
What Changed
Previously, mentioning @copilot in a pull request comment used a default model with no option to override. Now, a model picker automatically appears in the bottom-left of the comment box after @copilot is mentioned, letting the developer select from the full range of supported models before submission.
Availability
Currently available on github.com only. Support for GitHub Mobile and additional comment types is planned for future updates.
