 ## Overview
 
-Experience less rate limiting and reduce the mental load of choosing a model by letting {% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection %} choose the best available model on your behalf.
+More than just a model picker, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection_short %} is an intelligent system delivering high quality results, better reliability, and one less decision to make as the model landscape rapidly evolves.
 
-{% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection %} intelligently chooses models based on real time system health and model performance.  You benefit from:
-  * Reduced rate limiting
-  * Lower latency and errors
-  * Discounted multipliers for paid plans
+{% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection_short_cap_a %} combines two systems to provide high quality results and better reliability. One system tracks real-time system health and availability, while the other evaluates task complexity. Putting these together, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection_short %} routes the task to the optimal model.
+
+Routing occurs along natural cache boundaries to avoid additional cache related costs. Switching models mid-session has shown increased cost without ample improvements in quality. 
+This helps you get more value from {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} since it matches each task to the model that can solve it most efficiently. That means reserving higher-cost reasoning models for problems that truly need it, while routing straightforward tasks to faster, lower-cost models that still deliver great results.
+
+Benefits of using {% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection_short %} include: 
+* Matching each task to the model that can solve it most efficiently.
+* Model choice based on real-time system health and availability.
+* Language invariance: Routing decisions depend on what you are trying to do, not what language you're asking in.
+* Improved cost efficiency due to intelligent task routing.
+
+### Policies and availability
+
+When you select **Auto**, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection_short %} chooses from supported models, subject to your policies and subscription type. Available models may change over time. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/reference/ai-models/supported-models#supported-ai-models-in-auto-model-selection).
 
 {% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection_short_cap_a %} **won't** include these models:
+* Models not available in your plan.
 * Models excluded by administrator policies. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/how-tos/copilot-on-github/set-up-copilot/configure-access-to-ai-models).
-* Models with premium request multipliers greater than one. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/reference/ai-models/supported-models#model-multipliers).
-* Models not available in your plan. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/reference/ai-models/supported-models#supported-ai-models-per-copilot-plan).
-
-> [!NOTE] Soon {% data variables.copilot.copilot_auto_model_selection %} will choose the best model for you based on your task.
+* Models excluded by policies restricting {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} to data-resident or FedRAMP-compliant models.
+* Models with premium request multipliers greater than one.
