# Overview

> Manage models on the Costs page - edit LLM providers and per-model token prices used for AI cost tracking across traces, Otter, OpenGround, and the SDK

**Manage models** is the **Manage models** tab on **Costs** (`/costs?tab=models`) under Monitor. Every connected ClickHouse database is seeded with **14 providers** and a large built-in model catalog (90+ models). You can edit any price, add custom providers and models, import/export pricing JSON, and point the OpenLIT SDK at a public pricing URL so ingest-time cost tracking stays in sync with the UI.

Those prices power [Configuration](/latest/openlit/costs/configuration) (Auto Pricing and manual recalculation), [Analytics](/latest/openlit/costs/analytics), cost columns in telemetry, [OpenGround](/latest/openlit/prompts-experiments/openground/overview) comparisons, and Otter's message cost estimates.

Open **Monitor → Costs → Manage models**. (`/manage-models` redirects here.) Toolbar actions (Add Provider, SDK Usage, Import, Export) are icon-only with tooltips.

## Built-in providers

Out of the box you get: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI, Mistral AI, Groq, Perplexity, Azure OpenAI, Cohere, Together AI, Fireworks AI, DeepSeek, xAI, Hugging Face, and Replicate. Model lists change as the catalog is updated - treat Manage models itself as the source of truth for what is installed in your database.

## API reference

Authenticated Manage Models APIs and the public SDK export are documented under [API Reference → Manage Models](/latest/openlit/developer-resources/api-reference/endpoint/manage-models/models). Feature pages link there for request shapes and examples instead of duplicating code samples.

## Frequently asked questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How does OpenLIT calculate cost from these prices?">
    It multiplies each span's input and output token counts by that model's input and output price per 1M tokens from Manage models.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I add a custom or self-hosted model?">
    Yes. Add a provider if needed, then add a model with your own Model ID and pricing - or bulk-import via Import Pricing JSON.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does Default vs Custom matter for pricing?">
    **Default** means the model was seeded by OpenLIT; **Custom** means you added it. Both are fully editable and used the same way for cost tracking.
  </Accordion>
