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.

Catalog Maintenance

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. 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.
