Model Provider Quickstart

Fased uses one provider registry for onboarding, CLI, Agent setup, Chat, tasks, and channel-routed Agents. The normal browser surface is Agent > Models for the selected Agent.

​
Quick Start Path

  1. Open Agents, select an Agent, and use Agent > Models to add a credential, sign in, paste a token, or configure a local/manual endpoint.
  2. Choose that Agent’s primary/fallback/task model roles on the same page.
  3. Use Chat to test the Agent. Chat can override the model for the current session when the route is usable.
  4. Use Agent > Channels to route external apps to that Agent.
  5. Use Usage when you need local token totals grouped by provider, model, Agent, session, task, or channel.

​
Pick The Provider Shape

Hosted API or sign-in

Start with OpenAI, Anthropic, Chutes, or another hosted provider page.

Router or aggregator

Start with OpenRouter, Vercel AI, LiteLLM, or Cloudflare AI Gateway.

Local model

Start with Ollama, LM Studio, or vLLM-compatible.

Custom endpoint

Use Custom Provider when the built-in provider shapes do not fit your endpoint.

​
Catalog Maintenance

The provider’s authenticated model catalog is the availability authority. Fased’s checked-in catalog supplies reviewed capabilities, recommendations, and role rankings; it is not a substitute for account access. Providers, Agent > Models, Chat, and Tasks use the same Gateway response, so their available counts and selectable model IDs should match for the selected Agent. Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM-compatible servers, and LiteLLM are discovered from the user’s configured endpoint. They have no hard-coded placeholder model. Use fased providers refresh to compare the checked-in provider registry with live or reviewed source catalogs. Use fased providers refresh --write-review before applying model or capability changes. The repository also runs a nightly credentialed drift review. Drift creates a pull request for human review; it never changes a release or recommendation silently. Use fased providers models add/remove for local or custom model entries on the current machine. See Model providers for the exact refresh and manual-model commands. Provider docs intentionally list only first-class Agent > Models providers. Use Ollama for native Ollama, LM Studio for localhost:1234, vLLM-compatible for vLLM, SGLang, TGI, LocalAI, FastChat, and similar OpenAI-compatible local servers, and Custom Provider when the shortcut does not fit. Provider setup shows account/endpoint health: reachable, auth ok, models discovered, and private network approved. Token and cost accounting remains on Usage, where it is based on Fased’s local usage history rather than provider quota screens.
