Models

Kodik supports several AI model sources. The default provider — the Kodik managed cloud — works without any third-party API key. If you prefer to bring your own key (BYOK), Anthropic, OpenAI / Azure OpenAI, local Ollama, and any OpenAI-compatible service are all available.

Each chat owns its model: a new chat starts on the model selected in its composer (or the current default), and changing the model in one chat never affects other open chats. Whenever you pick a model — before the first message or inside a running chat — that pick also becomes the default that future new chats start on.

Kodik (managed cloud, default)

Kodik is the default provider. Sign in to your Kodik account and you can start making requests immediately without any third-party keys. Usage is charged against your account’s credit balance.

On first use, Kodik selects the first available model from the managed catalog. You can choose another model at any time.

See pricing and credits for billing details.

BYOK providers

All providers below are available right now. Each one requires either your own API key or a locally deployed service.

Ollama (local)

Ollama lets you run models entirely on your own machine — data never leaves your device. The default base URL is http://localhost:11434. Kodik automatically discovers the model’s context window size and adjusts it as needed.

See local models (Ollama).

OpenAI-compatible providers (Custom Provider)

Kodik supports any API in OpenAI format. Well-known services — OpenRouter, Groq, Together AI, Mistral, Perplexity, Fireworks, DeepSeek, LM Studio, LiteLLM — are detected automatically from the base URL. For any other service, just provide the URL, API key, and format.

See custom providers (BYOK).

Choosing and managing models

The model list, favorites, hiding unwanted models, and credit multiplier badges are described in choosing and managing models.

Sub-agents can use a separate model — see sub-agent model.
