Bring Your Own Model brings three familiar ways to use your preferred AI models back to Raycast v2. Connect any OpenAI-compatible endpoint with [Custom Providers](https://manual.raycast.com/ai/custom-providers), run models through Ollama with [Local Models](https://manual.raycast.com/ai/local-models), or [add your OpenRouter API key](https://manual.raycast.com/ai/bring-your-own-keys) to choose from its catalog. Once configured, your models are available across Raycast AI alongside Raycast’s built-in options.


In v2, Custom Providers, Local Models, and Bring Your Own Key require a Raycast Pro subscription. We know this is a meaningful change compared to v1 and want to be upfront about it. You can read more about our thinking and where we’re heading on the [BYOAI article in the Manual](https://manual.raycast.com/ai/byoai).
