# Models & LLM Providers

> Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Bedrock, Groq, Perplexity, and custom model endpoints.

Lyzr is model-agnostic. You can choose the model provider per agent and change it as your quality, latency, cost, or data residency requirements evolve.

## Supported providers

* OpenAI
* Anthropic
* Google
* AWS Bedrock
* Groq
* Perplexity
* Custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints

## Bring Your Own Model

Enterprise users can connect custom model endpoints:

1. Go to **Models**. Owners and admins can access this page.
2. Click **Add**.
3. Enter the model name, endpoint URL, and API key.
4. Save the model.
5. Select it from the provider dropdown in any agent builder.

BYOM supports OpenAI-compatible API endpoints, including self-hosted models served through vLLM, Ollama, or similar runtimes.

## Operational guidance

* Use smaller, faster models for routing, classification, and simple extraction.
* Use stronger reasoning models for complex analysis, code generation, and high-stakes workflows.
* Keep model choice separate from agent behavior. Role, goal, instructions, tools, and guardrails should remain portable across providers.
