Pick your model & verify every line

LESSONLesson 4 · ~20 min

🎯Goal. Choose which model answers, and build the habit of checking Copilot's output before you trust it.

▶ Try this prompt

Use a stronger model to refactor this function, then explain each change so I can confirm it's correct.

Use the model picker in the Chat panel to switch models, then ask Copilot to justify its work.

  1. 1From the Chat panel's model picker, choose a model — even the Free plan gives access to multiple models, including Claude and GPT. Premium models are available on the paid tiers.
  2. 2Always run and verify what Copilot writes. It can produce plausible-but-wrong API calls or reference libraries that don't exist — treat every suggestion as a draft, not a fact.
  3. 3Ask Copilot to explain its changes and add a small test. For biology and data work, sanity-check the numbers against a known result before you rely on the output.

You'll see. The same task answered by a different model, with an explanation you can check line by line — and at least one suggestion you correct.

💳Cost. Premium models live on Pro+ ($39/mo, $70/mo in Credits) and Max ($100/mo, $200/mo in Credits, priority access to new models). Premium-model chat draws on your AI Credits.

💡Takeaway. You pick the model and you own the verification — Copilot drafts fast, but correctness is always yours to confirm.
