Custom Model

A user-configured model slot for connecting custom providers, private deployments, or bespoke fine-tuned models.

Overview

The Custom model entry represents user-configured model connections. It can point to private deployments, fine-tuned models, or provider-specific endpoints that are not part of the default catalogue. Custom models are ideal when you need to match internal compliance requirements, deploy proprietary data, or integrate with a model provider not listed in the standard set.

Capabilities

  • Configurable endpoints for custom providers or private models
  • Flexible settings for context limits and model parameters
  • Supports specialized workflows such as internal compliance or bespoke tuning
  • Allows integration with custom toolchains and middleware

Strengths

  • Maximum flexibility for enterprise or bespoke requirements
  • Ability to align with internal governance and security needs
  • Supports unique model capabilities not available in defaults
  • Useful for experimentation and evaluation

Limitations and Considerations

  • Capabilities depend entirely on the configured provider
  • Requires careful configuration of context limits and tool support
  • Quality and latency vary with the underlying model

Best Use Cases

Custom models are ideal for:

  • Specialized business applications
  • Unique workflow requirements
  • Testing and experimentation
  • Fine-tuned configurations
  • Non-standard integrations
