Providers are the top-level grouping for models on Manage Models (/costs?tab=models). OpenLIT ships 14 built-in providers; you can add your own for self-hosted or niche APIs.

​
Add a provider

1

Open Add Provider

In the Manage Models header, click the + control (tooltip: Add Provider).
2

Fill in the fields

  • Provider ID - lowercase identifier (e.g. my-provider). Spaces become hyphens; other special characters are stripped. This must match what your SDK sends in gen_ai.system.
  • Display Name - label shown in the UI.
  • Description - optional.
  • Requires API Key (Vault) - toggle on if callers need a Vault secret for this provider.
3

Save

Click Add Provider. The provider appears in the left sidebar.

​
Edit a provider

Hover a provider in the sidebar and use the edit control to open Edit Provider. You can change display name, description, and the Vault requirement. Provider ID cannot be changed after creation.

​
Delete a provider

There is no delete button in the Manage Models UI today. To remove a provider and all of its models, use the Providers API DELETE operation.
