- A Provider is an LLM vendor account — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more — holding your defaults and your API key.
- A Model references a provider and adds per-model settings (and cost metadata).
Two ways to run
Viorant is a built-in managed provider that needs no key. It offers two tiers — Medium and Low — and each call draws from your account’s credit wallet. This is what makes a brand-new account usable immediately. Your own provider runs models directly from your machine against your key. Keys live in your OS credential store — Keychain on macOS, Credential Manager on Windows — and are never sent to Viorant’s servers. The Hub calls the provider API itself, and these runs cost no credits. You can mix them: different models in the same space can sit on different providers, so it’s normal to iterate on a Viorant tier and run production work on your own key.Credits & the Viorant provider
