Providers

Providers are the top-level grouping for models on Manage Models (/manage-models). ARMS ships 14 built-in providers; you can add your own for self-hosted or niche APIs.

Add a provider

Open Add Provider

In the Manage Models header, click the + control (tooltip: Add Provider).

Fill in the fields

• Provider ID - lowercase identifier (e.g. my-provider). Spaces become hyphens; other special characters are stripped. This must match what your SDK sends in gen_ai.system.
• Display Name - label shown in the UI.
• Description - optional.
• Requires API Key (Vault) - toggle on if callers need a Vault secret for this provider.

Save

Click Add Provider. The provider appears in the left sidebar.

Edit a provider

Hover a provider in the sidebar and use the edit control to open Edit Provider. You can change display name, description, and the Vault requirement. Provider ID cannot be changed after creation.

Delete a provider

There is no delete button in the Manage Models UI today. To remove a provider and all of its models, use the Providers API DELETE operation.
