Provider Models
Biyan lists models exposed by each configured remote provider. Open Settings → Model Providers, choose a provider, and configure its credentials and endpoint.
Add a model
- Use Refresh Models when the provider supports model discovery.
- If a compatible provider does not expose a model-list endpoint, add the exact model ID supplied by that provider.
- Set capabilities such as image, file, and tool calling only when confirmed by the provider documentation.
Remove a model
Remove a custom model entry from its provider configuration. Provider-discovered entries may reappear after refresh and must instead be controlled through that provider.
Retired local models
⚠️
Biyan has no local model Hub, GGUF/MLX import, local model downloader, or local engine settings. Existing downloaded files are not loaded and are not deleted automatically.
When an old conversation points to a retired local model, its history remains readable. Select a configured remote model before continuing; Biyan never chooses one automatically.
