AI Infrastructure
Included Free Tier
Gemini 1.5 Flash is integrated by default—no API key required. If the global quota is reached, the system automatically falls back to Groq (Llama 3.3 70B) to ensure uninterrupted access.
BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)
Power users can set their own API keys on the AI settings page to unlock premium models. We currently support automatic routing for:

OpenAI (GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini)
Anthropic (Claude 3.5 Sonnet)
Google (Gemini Pro)
Groq (Llama 3.3)

Security note: Keys are encrypted at rest using secure symmetric encryption. The frontend never stores your key in your browser's local storage.
