BYOK
Bring your own model provider keys while keeping Synchronex as the routing and worker control plane.
4 min read
Supported Providers
| Provider | Use | Get a key |
|---|---|---|
| Anthropic | Claude models for reasoning and worker execution | console.anthropic.com/settings/keys |
| OpenAI | OpenAI models and server tools where enabled | platform.openai.com/api-keys |
| Gemini models for research and fast synthesis | aistudio.google.com/apikey |
Each provider console requires its own account and billing setup — Synchronex never sees or stores your provider account credentials, only the API key itself.
Add a Key
Open Settings - Integrations (BYOK), choose a provider, label the credential (e.g. "Production"), and paste the key once. Use Test key before storing to confirm the key is valid without leaving the page.
Security
BYOK credentials are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and never logged. API responses return hints only (last 4 characters), not raw key material — once stored, a key cannot be viewed again, only rotated or revoked.
Routing Impact
BYOK keys expand the model families available to the Intelligent Model Router. On the Free plan, at least one LLM provider key (Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google) is required to run workers — Synchronex-managed credits are not available on Free. Paid plans use Synchronex-managed access by default; BYOK keys there add model choice rather than unlocking execution.
