Add a Cloud Model Provider

The desktop ships a catalog of 32 model providers. This guide covers connecting any of them in Settings -> Models, whether by a single API key or, for the cloud providers, a credential form.

Open the provider grid

Go to Settings -> Models. The grid shows every provider in the catalog. Find the one you want and choose Manage.

Connect with an API key

Most providers connect with a single key:

1. Paste the API key into the credential form.
2. Save. The provider shows as connected.

The app recognizes many keys by their prefix and selects the right provider for you, so a pasted key often lands on the correct entry without you choosing it first.

Faster setup

Some providers offer a one-click import that detects a key already in your environment. If you see that option, it is the quickest path.

Connect a cloud provider

AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, and Azure OpenAI use a multi-field credential form rather than a single key, because they authenticate with cloud credentials. Open Manage for one of these and fill in the fields it asks for, such as region, project, and the credential it accepts.

Pick a default model

After a provider connects, set a default model for it, or pick a model per conversation from the launch bar. You can also browse the provider’s available models and add a specific one.
