Model Selection Comes to GitLab Duo: Innovation Meets Governance

Accelerate Innovation while Maintaining Control with GitLab Duo’s New Model Selection

Organisations looking to harness the power of AI-driven development while maintaining governance and compliance can now benefit from GitLab Duo’s latest innovation: Model Selection. This powerful feature gives users the flexibility to select which AI models integrate into their GitLab environment, offering greater control without compromising the enhanced productivity delivered by AI.

Businesses in regulated industries or those with specific data governance requirements can now configure GitLab Duo to use approved models only, whether hosted by GitLab or externally. Model Selection is designed to help teams innovate faster while respecting their organisation’s policies and compliance needs.

For enterprise customers, including those operating across diverse geographies such as the UK, Central Europe, and South Africa, this feature simplifies how AI is managed and deployed in their software development lifecycle. It allows teams to harness AI capabilities confidently, knowing that all regulatory and internal standards are met.

This update aligns with GitLab’s ongoing mission—to deliver a secure, compliant, and efficient software delivery platform that puts flexibility and control into the hands of development and operations teams. With granular controls at the group or instance level, administrators can now define which models are used, enabling freedom of innovation within organisational compliance frameworks.

GitLab Duo’s Model Selection empowers DevSecOps teams to deliver iteratively and securely, balancing speed with safety in today’s complex software ecosystems.

If you’re interested in how your organisation across Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Macedonia, United Kingdom, Israel, South Africa, or Paraguay can make the most of GitLab Duo and other DevSecOps best practices, contact IDEA GitLab Solutions for professional consulting services and licensing tailored to your needs.
