# Model Providers

# Model Providers

Models are configured per Agent. Open **Agents**, select an Agent, then use
**Agent > Models** to connect provider credentials, choose model roles, and test
the route.

The same connection flow is available from the CLI:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"min-light","dark":"min-dark"}}
fased providers connect
fased providers connect openai
```

There is one provider registry shared by onboarding, CLI, Agent setup, Chat,
tasks, and channel-routed Agents. Channels such as Telegram or Discord are
separate from model providers; configure those from **Agent > Channels**.

## Code-Backed Provider Surface

These pages map to the shared provider registry used by onboarding, CLI, and
**Agent > Models**. If a provider is not visible as ready, first check that the
Agent has a credential, token, endpoint, or local server configured for that
provider.

## Health And Usage

**Agent > Models** can show reachability, auth health, discovered models,
private-network approval, and known model capabilities. Token and cost
accounting stays on **Usage**, grouped by provider, model, Agent, session, task,
and channel.
