## How to Choose a Model Provider

When selecting a model provider, consider:

1. **Hosting preference**: Do you need local models for offline use or privacy, or are you comfortable with cloud services?
2. **Performance requirements**: Different providers offer varying levels of speed, quality, and context length.
3. **Specific capabilities**: Some models excel at code generation, others at embeddings or reasoning tasks.
4. **Pricing**: Costs vary significantly between providers, from free local options to premium cloud services.
5. **API key requirements**: Most cloud providers require API keys that you'll need to configure.

## Configuration Format

You can add models to your `config.yaml` file like this:

```yaml theme={null}
models:
  - name: Claude 4 Sonnet
    provider: anthropic # Choose provider from the lists above
    model: claude-sonnet-4-20250514 # Specific model name
    apiKey: ${{ secrets.OPENAI_API_KEY }}
    roles:
      - chat
      - edit
      - apply
```
