# Multi-Model Strategy
## Why This is Copilot-Exclusive
Copilot CLI provides a **broad model selection** that can be switched at any time via the
`/model` command or per-agent via the `model` parameter. This lets you mix premium review
models, code-focused implementation models, and fast/cheap exploration models in one workflow
instead of forcing every step through the same model family.
## When to Use
- Deciding whether Copilot Auto should handle model choice or whether to override it manually
- Matching model strengths to task requirements
- Optimizing cost for high-volume operations (use cheaper models for exploration)
