## AI picks the right model for you
GitHub's Project HydraFusion orchestrates AI models at runtime, matching developers' tasks to the best model automatically.
## No more manual model coordination
Developers typically choose models manually, asking one to review another's work or escalating tough problems to more capable models.
## From selection to full orchestration
GitHub's previous Auto Model Selection let developers pick "Auto" for tasks. HydraFusion goes further, creating full execution plans at runtime.
## Three execution patterns
Single uses one model for speed. Cascade drafts with one model, then escalates if needed. Critique has one model draft while another reviews.
## Smart cost management
HydraFusion only calls extra models when it expects better results, choosing the simplest workflow to meet each developer's needs.

> HydraFusion only calls in extra models when it's likely to improve the result
## Available now in Copilot CLI
Project HydraFusion is available on all GitHub Copilot plans through /experimental in the CLI. Usage is based on tokens consumed.
## Key takeaway

GitHub's Project HydraFusion automatically selects and orchestrates the best AI models for each coding task at runtime, eliminating the need for developers to manually choose models.
