Providers Overview

BYOK multi-provider routing and architecture in NIKI.

BYOK & Multi-Provider Architecture

NIKI is built with a Bring Your Own Keys (BYOK) philosophy. You are never locked into a single model vendor or proprietary proxy.

Each agent role in the pipeline can be mapped to an entirely different provider and model:

# Mix providers freely across roles
[agents.planner]
provider = "anthropic"
model    = "claude-sonnet-4-20250514"

[agents.coder]
provider = "anthropic"
model    = "claude-sonnet-4-20250514"

[agents.tester]
provider = "openai"
model    = "gpt-4o-mini"

[agents.reviewer]
provider = "anthropic"
model    = "claude-sonnet-4-20250514"

Supported Providers

NIKI has exactly 12 user-facing provider slugs:

Each role can select any configured slug. Fallback entries use these provider slugs, not inline provider/model objects.
