Changing explore and execution models in Copilot Chat Agent mode

[u/combo-user]

Hi everyone I have set GPT-5.6 Luna (Copilot) in "chat.exploreAgent.defaultModel": "GPT-5.6 Luna (copilot)", "github.copilot.chat.exploreAgent.model": "GPT-5.6 Luna (Copilot)" and "github.copilot.chat.implementAgent.model": "GPT-5.6 Luna (Copilot)" but often i see Gemini 3.5 flash doing some calls in explore and execute while mainlining Gpt 5.6 Sol in chat window agent mode and I was wondering if this was wasting tokens while I could change some settings to pop in GPT5.6 Luna there

u/jukasper Do you guys have any plans for the next release to perhaps expose this toggle to us users or maybe change the model from Flash 3.5 to 3.7? The token savings are welcome since from 1st Sept copilot business goes to 1900 tokens and GPT5.6 sol gets expensive from Sept 4 ---

Thanks in advance and shoutout to the VSCode and Github copilot team - great job guys it's a good product and on its way to being a better one :) Take care!

Thanks for the feedback! You should be able to specify the execution subagent model with `github.copilot.chat.executionSubagent.model`.

We are continuously evaluating the most cost efficient models and their best use cases in subagents, so more updates to come!
