title: "Use custom models"
-description: "Use your own or third-party models for evaluations in Future AGI via supported providers or a custom API endpoint with full configuration control."
+description: "Bring your own LLM as the evaluator, from a provider or a custom endpoint"
---
-## About
+Evaluations need a model to act as the [evaluator](/docs/evaluation/concepts/evaluator-models): to read each response and decide whether it passes, fails, or scores in a range. A **custom model** lets you bring your own LLM as that evaluator instead of a Future AGI model, when a model of yours knows your domain better, when inference has to stay in a specific cloud or region, or when you want eval costs tracked against a model you already pay for. Once added, it appears in the model dropdown wherever you configure an eval.
-Evaluations need a model to act as the evaluator: to read each response and decide whether it passes, fails, or scores within a range. Custom models let you bring your own LLM as the evaluator instead of using Future AGI's built-in models.
+Two ways to connect:
-This matters when you have a model that knows your domain better, when you need inference to stay within a specific cloud provider or region, or when you want to track evaluation costs against a model you already pay for.
+- **From a provider**: a direct integration with Open AI, AWS Bedrock, AWS Sagemaker, Vertex AI, or Azure
+- **Custom endpoint**: any model behind an HTTP API, including self-hosted, fine-tuned, or proxy deployments
-Once you add a custom model, it appears in the model dropdown everywhere evaluations are configured : datasets, simulations, custom evals, and eval groups.
+## Add a model
-Two ways to connect:
+Go to **Settings → AI Providers**, open the **Custom model** tab, and click **Create custom model**.
-- **From a provider**: Direct integration with OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, AWS SageMaker, Vertex AI, or Azure. Recommended for reliability and simpler credential management.
-- **Custom endpoint**: Connect any model behind an HTTP API, including self-hosted, fine-tuned, or proxy deployments.
+
+*The Custom model tab lists everything you've added so far; edit, delete, or copy any entry from here*
-
-Learn how to define eval rules that use your model: [Create custom evals](/docs/evaluation/guides/custom-evals).
-
+An **Add Model** drawer opens with two options: **From model Provider** or **Configure Custom Model**.
----
-## When to use
+### From a provider
-- **Control cost and compliance**: Bring your own LLM and set token costs so evaluation spend is tracked. Keep inference in your chosen region or provider for compliance.
-- **Evaluate with a fine-tuned or internal model**: Run evals with a model tuned on your domain or hosted in-house by connecting it via the custom endpoint option.
-- **Unify evals across providers**: Add multiple models and use the same eval templates against each to compare quality or cost.
-- **Proxy or third-party APIs**: Connect any API-compatible endpoint when it is not one of the built-in providers.
+With **From model Provider** selected, pick a provider from the **Model Provider** dropdown: Open AI, AWS Bedrock, AWS Sagemaker, Vertex AI, or Azure.
----
-## How to
-
-Choose how you want to connect your model:
-
-
-
- Direct integration with **OpenAI**, **AWS Bedrock**, **AWS SageMaker**, **Vertex AI**, or **Azure**. Follow the steps below.
-
-
-
- In your project, go to model configuration (e.g. **Settings** or **Models**) and choose to add a model **from a provider**. Select your provider; each has its own form (see tabs below).
-
-
-
- Configure your OpenAI API key and model; set a custom name and token costs for cost tracking.
- 
-
-
- Connect via AWS credentials; choose a Bedrock model, set name and token costs.
- 
-
-
- Use your SageMaker endpoint; add name and token costs for evaluations.
- 
-
-
- Integrate with Google Cloud Vertex AI; configure model, name, and token costs.
- 
-
-
- Connect your Azure OpenAI or other Azure model; set name and token costs.
- 
-
-
-
-
- Fill in the provider-specific authentication and options (e.g. API key, region, endpoint) in the form for your provider.
-
-
- Give the model a **custom name** so you can recognise it in the model dropdown. Enter **input** and **output token cost per million tokens** so Future AGI can compute cost when running evaluations.
-
-
- Save the model; it will appear in the model dropdown when you add or run custom evaluations.
-
-
-
-
- Connect any model behind an API endpoint: self-hosted, fine-tuned, or third-party. Use this when integrating endpoints that are not one of the supported providers.
-
-
-
- In your project, go to model configuration (e.g. **Settings** or **Models**) and choose **Configure custom model** (or **Add custom model**) to open the form.
- 
-
-
- **Model name**: a friendly identifier (e.g. `mistral-rag-prod`) so you can recognise it in selectors and reports. **API base URL**: the endpoint Future AGI will call (e.g. `https://api.my-model-server.com/v1`). Required for evaluations, RAG, and agent calls.
-
-
- Enter **input token cost per million tokens** and **output token cost per million tokens** so Future AGI can compute cost and show usage analytics (e.g. `1.50` for input, `2.00` for output).
-
-
- If your API needs extra headers or parameters (e.g. `Authorization: Bearer ...`), use **Add custom configuration** and add **Custom key** and **Custom value** pairs. Use this for auth, multi-tenant routing, or provider-specific options.
-
-
- Save the model; it will appear in the model dropdown when you add or run custom evaluations.
-
-
-
-
-
+
+*Five supported providers, each with its own credential form*
----
+Fill in the provider's form: a **Model Name** to recognize it later, **Input** and **Output Token Cost Per Million Tokens** for cost tracking, and the provider's credentials, an API key for Open AI, region and access keys for Bedrock or Sagemaker, a service account for Vertex AI, endpoint and key for Azure. A **Form** and **JSON** toggle lets you fill the fields individually or paste a raw config.
-## Field reference
+
+*Open AI's form: model name, token costs, API key, and an optional base URL*
-Fields you may see when adding a model (from a provider or custom). **Applies to** indicates which flow uses the field.
+### Custom endpoint
-| Field | Applies to | About | Example |
-| --- | --- | --- | --- |
-| **Model name** / **Custom name** | Both | Friendly name for the model in Future AGI; shown in selectors and reports. | `mistral-rag-prod`, `my-openai-gpt4` |
-| **Input token cost per million tokens** | Both | Cost of input tokens per 1M tokens; used for cost tracking and analytics. | `1.50` |
-| **Output token cost per million tokens** | Both | Cost of output tokens per 1M tokens; used with input cost for total cost. | `2.00` |
-| **Provider-specific fields** (auth, region, model ID, etc.) | From providers | Vary by provider (e.g. API key, region). See provider tabs in Step 1. | |
-| **API base URL** | Custom model | Endpoint Future AGI calls for your model (evaluations, RAG, agent calls). | `https://api.my-model-server.com/v1` |
-| **Add custom configuration** (Custom key & value) | Custom model | Custom headers or params (e.g. auth). Key/value pairs. | **Key:** `Authorization` **Value:** `Bearer sk-...` |
+Select **Configure Custom Model** instead to connect any model behind an HTTP API. Fill in the **Model Name**, the token costs, and the **API Base URL**, the endpoint Future AGI calls. Anything else the endpoint needs, an auth header, a tenant ID, a routing parameter, goes under **Custom Configuration** as key/value pairs, and **Add more configuration** adds another pair.
----
+
+*A custom endpoint needs an API base URL; everything else it needs goes in Custom Configuration*
+
+## Save the model
+
+Click **Add Custom model**. The model joins the Custom model list, and it now shows up in the model dropdown wherever you pick an evaluator, like when you [create a custom eval](/docs/evaluation/guides/custom-evals).
