Providers and models

Choose a product surface first

Check surface availability before installing the CLI or another client. Use the provider directory and the product's model picker when choosing a provider or model.

The current Desktop application is managed-cloud-only and does not accept provider keys or run local models. For CLI local inference, see Local mode. For provider-key login and custom endpoint configuration, see BYOK.

Understand the catalog counts

The provider-key catalog contains 392 model entries under 12 provider integrations. These are catalog counts rather than a list of models offered to every account. Consult your surface's model picker and plan for your selection.

Changing the model route

The CLI refuses a model request when the session's trust mode and provider route differ. A reviewed Local continuation requires a matching payload preview and creates a new destination session. Review the selected context and destination before confirming a continuation.

Choosing automatic routing

Choose an automatic option offered by your model picker, or select a specific model. Review the provider and route shown for the request before sending sensitive content.
