With [!INCLUDE [ssms-22-md](../includes/ssms-22-md.md)], GitHub Copilot in SSMS uses GPT-4.1 as the default model to provide fast response times, high-quality suggestions, and improve efficiency for coding tasks.
19+
20+
However, you're not limited to using this model. You can also select a different model that best fits your requirements.
21+
22+
## Available models
23+
24+
Choose from a curated set of models in the model picker:
25+
26+
- GPT-5
27+
- Claude Sonnet 3.5
28+
- Claude Sonnet 4
29+
- Claude Sonnet 4.5
30+
- Claude Haiku 4.5
31+
- Gemini 2.5 Pro
32+
- GPT-4.1
33+
- GPT-5 mini
34+
- GPT-4o
35+
36+
Model selection capabilities include:
37+
38+
- Persistent selection: The model that you choose remains selected across chat threads.
39+
40+
- Ability to enable models directly: If a model is available in your plan but not yet enabled, you see a prompt in the model picker to activate it.
41+
42+
- Model availability depends on your Copilot subscription and the current status of each model. For Copilot Enterprise and Business, administrators must enable the Preview policy in Copilot settings before models are available in SSMS.

# Manage Copilot usage and models in SQL Server Management Studio (Preview)
17+
18+
GitHub Copilot includes built-in tools to help you track usage, manage your plan, and understand how model selection affects [request consumption](https://docs.github.com/copilot/concepts/billing/copilot-requests).
19+
20+
## View Copilot usage
21+
22+
To track your Copilot usage:
23+
24+
1. Select the Copilot badge in the top-right corner of SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
25+
26+
1. To view the Copilot Usage dialog, select **Copilot Usage**.
27+
28+
1. The dialog shows current use and the number of remaining requests. You can select **Get more requests** to manage your Copilot spend on [GitHub](https://github.com/settings/billing/budgets).
29+
30+
> [!NOTE]
31+
> GitHub manages billing and subscriptions. For more information, see your [GitHub settings](https://github.com/settings/billing/summary).
32+
33+
## Understand model selection
34+
35+
GitHub Copilot supports multiple AI models, and each model might consume requests at different rates based on assigned [multipliers](https://docs.github.com/copilot/concepts/billing/copilot-requests#model-multipliers).
36+
37+
To view or change your current model:
38+
39+
1. Open the chat window from the Copilot badge, or **View** > **GitHub Copilot Chat**.
40+
1. To select a model, use the model picker dropdown list above the input field.
41+
42+
When your [premium request quota](https://docs.github.com/copilot/get-started/plans#comparing-copilot-plans) is exhausted, Copilot automatically falls back to a base model so you can continue working without interruption.
43+
44+
> [!TIP]
45+
> Visit your [Copilot settings on GitHub](https://github.com/settings/copilot/features) to explore model options and subscription details.
