# Bring your own AI model

> Power AI features with your own LLM provider and API key.

By default, AI features run on a managed model. Bring your own key (BYOK) lets you supply your own LLM provider, model, and API key instead. Use BYOK when your organization requires a specific model, has an existing provider agreement, or needs AI traffic billed to its own provider account.

The model you configure powers all AI products in your deployment.

<Info>
  BYOK is available on Enterprise plans. Configuring the AI model requires permission to update assistant settings. Members without this permission can view the configuration but cannot change it.
</Info>

## Configure your model

1. Go to **Settings → Organization → API keys**.
2. Find the **AI model** section and turn on the **Bring your own model** toggle.
3. Select a provider.
4. Select a model from the searchable list. Each provider shows a **Browse models** link if you want to compare options.
5. Enter your provider API key.
6. Click **Save**.

## Providers

Three provider options are supported:

| Provider              | Base URL                       | Notes                                                                                         |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Anthropic**         | `https://api.anthropic.com/v1` | Choose from supported Claude models.                                                          |
| **OpenRouter**        | `https://openrouter.ai/api/v1` | Choose from supported models across Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, and other model families. |
| **OpenAI-compatible** | Custom                         | Any endpoint that implements the OpenAI API format. Set your own provider name and base URL.  |

For the OpenAI-compatible option, the base URL must be a valid HTTPS URL. The dashboard rejects unsafe or malformed URLs when you save.

## API key handling

* Your API key is stored securely and never displayed after saving.
* The saved key is reused when you switch models within the same provider. You only re-enter a key when you change providers or the base URL.
* To rotate a key, enter the new key in the **API key** field and click **Save**. Leaving the field blank keeps your saved key.

## Disable BYOK

Turn off the **Bring your own model** toggle to remove your provider configuration and stored API key. AI features revert to the managed default model.
