Models
Route: /models · Settings section
What it is
Where you register LLM providers and model configs agents can use (Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama, …), including pricing metadata for Costs.
What it is for
- Register LLM providers and model configs agents can use
- Usually done once — often already handled in the Welcome wizard
- Adjust later for cost (Costs) or different agents
You only need this screen before an agent runs — not to install oc8 itself.
Where you are in the flow
★ Models configured → assign on Agents → runs consume tokens → Costs
Without a model, agents cannot usefully run. This is early setup (also linked from the welcome / pilot checklist).
What you do here
- Add a provider (API key via env or UI, depending on deployment).
- Declare / select models.
- On each Agent, pick the model config.
- Prefer cheaper models for pilots; tighten later.
