Org admins need a way to avoid manually reviewing Copilot model availability every time GitHub adds new models.

Copilot in GitHub

Body

Problem

Today, orgs can remain on older AI models indefinitely unless an admin notices that new models were added and manually revisits settings. This creates operational overhead and inconsistent adoption across organizations.

Suggestions

• Optional setting to automatically enable newly released models when they supersede existing enabled models with similar usage characteristics
• Optional setting to automatically disable or deprecate older models when newer recommended replacements exist
• Clear indicators for newly added models in the admin UI
• Meaningful sorting and filtering on the model settings page
• Side-by-side comparison for strengths, intended use cases, and admin-relevant tradeoffs

My main gripe was addressed this week, which is great: https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/concepts/models/default-availability

Closing this thread, although the recent changes don't handle automatically disabling obsolete models or just the general UX of the Copilot Models page.
