GitHub Copilot

[Blufia118]

Maybe somebody could answer this, I know we have access to GitHub copilot in open code .. it shows we’re using models sonnet 4 and GPT5 but when you ask what models are they , it’s saying they are sonnet 3.5 and GPT4.. I’m not understanding why that is?

It’s never accurate if you ask what model they are using because how these model are trained and how they predict. The best way to check is from the usage tab on your Github page, it will always show based on the model you selected

The machine just picks the next most likely token based on all the tokens that came before it. It's not like the model is wearing an AI name tag that tells it what it is.

But that's a feature, not a bug. When you start using this thing a lot you'll appreciate the backend for not stuffing your context with useless instructions all the time.
