Academic inquiry: Microsoft Copilot backend model used in March 2026

Hello Microsoft Copilot Team,

We are revising a research manuscript currently under peer review at JMIR Dermatology. A reviewer has requested verification of the exact AI model/version used in our study to ensure reproducibility.

Study context:

• Product: Free consumer Microsoft Copilot web interface

Location: United States

Evaluation period: Around March 20, 2026

Task: Uploading dermatologic images for diagnostic assessment (image understanding, not image generation)

Microsoft Consumer Support informed us that historical backend model identifiers could not be verified through the consumer interface and recommended posting this inquiry in Microsoft Q&A.

Could a Microsoft Copilot product or engineering representative please confirm the exact AI model name and version used by the free consumer Microsoft Copilot web interface in the United States around March 20, 2026, specifically for image-based diagnostic queries (image understanding, not image generation)?

If an exact model/version cannot be retrospectively identified, could you please confirm the most specific model designation applicable to that period for accurate reporting in our peer-reviewed manuscript?

We would appreciate an official clarification or referral to the appropriate Copilot product team.

Thank you for your assistance.
