Models tab

Browse every admitted model, ranked by tier, with live key status — separate from picking one in a chat.

Preview — early access.

Overview

The Models tab is the browsable list behind the agent panel's picker: every model admitted to the router, grouped by rank, with a description, strengths, weaknesses, and whether it's actually usable right now.

How it works

Models group under five ranks — parallel-pool, fast, balanced, strong, and premium — shown premium-first. Each card shows a key-status dot (● configured, ○ needs a key, ⬤ local Creytix model, free and always available), a provider badge, a trust badge (primary-eligible / parallel-only / candidate), and a cost-class badge (byok-free / byok-metered-cheap / metered / subscription). The list is read live from the generated model registry through a sanitized API route — never the raw registry file itself, so no provider URLs or keys leak into the client.

Steps

•
Open the Models tab
It sits next to Secrets in the tab strip.
•
Scan by rank
Premium models are listed first, down through strong, balanced, fast, and the parallel-pool.
•
Check a model's key status
Look at the dot next to its id — ● it's ready, ○ it needs a key, ⬤ it's local and free.
•
Read strengths and weaknesses
Each card lists what it's good at and what it's weak on, so you can pick deliberately instead of guessing.
•
Configure a missing key
If a model you want shows ○, add its provider's key under Vault & secrets or BYOK key vault.

Capabilities

Rank-grouped browsing — premium down to parallel-pool, in one scroll.
Live key status per model, not a static list that goes stale.
Trust and cost badges — know at a glance whether a model is meant for the main edit or just a cross-check, and roughly what it costs.
Sanitized API — the client never receives provider URLs or raw key values, only what's needed to render the list.
