A Model is a specific LLM your agents can pick — main engine, secondary engine, or as the tenant’s text / multimodal default. Each model belongs to a Provider. Models are managed in Command Center → Settings → Models.
Fields
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|
| Provider | Yes | The provider that serves this model |
| Model ID | Yes | Must match the model’s deployment name on the provider exactly — this is the identifier sent to the provider’s API, not a label you choose |
| Key | No | Display name shown in Command Center and referenced by agents when selecting an engine. Auto-derived from the Model ID if blank. Edit this field to rename |
| Context length | Yes | Maximum tokens the model accepts. Drives context-management guidance in Engine & Agents |
| Accepts image input | No | Enable for vision-capable models. Image-capable models become selectable as the tenant’s Multimodal model |
| Enabled | No | Only enabled models appear as selectable engines. Disable to retire without losing configuration or history |
Thinking effort
A thinking-effort level trades depth of reasoning against latency and cost:
| Level | Description |
|---|
| Off | No reasoning tokens — fastest, lowest cost |
| Minimal | Very light reasoning |
| Low | Basic reasoning pass |
| Medium | Balanced reasoning depth |
| High | Deep reasoning for complex tasks |
| xHigh | Maximum reasoning; highest cost |
Some custom or compatible providers do not accept a reasoning argument and reject any request that includes one. If your provider does not support reasoning, leave thinking effort unset — do not select any level.
Tenant defaults
The tenant’s default Text LLM model and Multimodal model are chosen in Settings → Tenant from the catalog’s enabled models. Only image-capable models appear as Multimodal options. These defaults power gateway routing, the AI Assistant, knowledge ingestion, and any agent that doesn’t pick its own engines.
See Engine & Agents for how agents combine main and secondary models, and where the tenant defaults are used.
Deletion rule
A model assigned to any agent — main or secondary — cannot be deleted. Reassign those agents or disable the model instead.
Deploy-time seeding
On deploy, the installer seeds models from the providers detected in the engine environment. After that, management moves to Command Center — no engine restart needed.
