Models

Step 4 of onboarding asks: "Which models should power this namespace?" There are three answers, and each has its own page here. The remaining pages in this section apply to every path: capabilities, the embedding index and role assignments.

You are not locked in. Providers can be added at any time after onboarding under Settings, then LLM providers. That page is reached from the user menu in the top-right corner, not from a workspace's settings.

In this section

1. 02.1Managed models

   Step 4 with Scirix-managed platform models: no keys, no hardware, no configuration.

2. 02.2Bring your own API key

   Step 4 with your own account at a commercial model provider.

3. 02.3Bring your own hardware

   Step 4 with model servers on your own machines, connected over a Tailscale tailnet.

4. 02.4Capabilities

   What each capability means and which Scirix roles require which capabilities.

5. 02.5The embedding index

   Step 5: choose which model builds the namespace's search index.

6. 02.6Role assignments

   Change which provider or group handles each role after onboarding.
