# Enterprise-managed settings support any default model

By Steven Van · 2026-09-02

You can now set your preferred GitHub Copilot model as the default for new conversations through enterprise-managed settings.

[GitHub](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/github>) now lets enterprise admins set a default Copilot model for new conversations through [enterprise-managed settings](<https://github.blog/changelog/2026-09-02-enterprise-managed-settings-support-any-default-model>), instead of leaving everyone on the same default. Admins can also assign a different default model to individual enterprise teams: mark the model key as overridable and update team-mappings.json so a team can choose its own preferred default, while everyone else inherits the enterprise default.

Model defaults in managed settings are generally available with **Copilot Business** and **Copilot Enterprise**, in the GitHub Copilot app, Copilot CLI, and Visual Studio Code.
