documentation · BYOK setup
Bring your own LLM key
repryntt does not mark up tokens. You connect provider keys; we route each task to the right model. You pay the provider directly.
Why BYOK
Your own key is optional. The $19.99/month repryntt plan includes 20 hours of work a month on our AI — one pool across our cloud and the Bot download on your own computer — with more hours at 69¢ each. When you bring a key, inference cost on it stays between you and the provider — the same dollar of OpenAI credit buys you the same number of tokens whether you call them from repryntt or directly — and on the Bot download it draws nothing from your hours.
If a provider raises prices, you see it immediately. If they cut prices, you see that too. No surprise platform invoices.
Already pay for Claude? On the Bot download it can drive the Bot's hands, through the same walls, approval cards and receipts: run repryntt connect claude.
Connect a provider
- 1. Go to Dashboard → Settings → LLM Providers.
- 2. Click "Add provider" and pick one from the list.
- 3. Paste your API key. We encrypt it at rest with AES-256-GCM before persisting. You can rotate or delete it at any time.
- 4. Optional: set a per-provider monthly budget. We'll halt routing to that provider when the budget is hit.

Provider notes
Anthropic
claude-fable-5, claude-opus-4-8, claude-opus-4-7, claude-sonnet-4-6, claude-haiku-4-5
Recommended default for reasoning-heavy agents. Workbench critics use Opus by default.
OpenAI
gpt-4o, gpt-4o-mini, o1, o3
Strong general-purpose router target. Cheapest tier for high-volume routine jobs.
xAI
grok-2, grok-2-mini, grok-vision
Optional. Useful for long-context and real-time-data agents.
gemini-2.5-pro, gemini-2.5-flash
Gemini 2.5 Flash is the cheapest frontier vision model — used for tiered vision in robotics.
NVIDIA NIM
Llama 3.x, Mixtral, Nemotron
Hosted open models. Often the cheapest path for high-throughput producer jobs.
Local (Ollama / vLLM)
any OpenAI-compatible local server
Fully offline. Set the env var to your local OpenAI-compatible endpoint and pick a model in Settings.
Multi-provider routing
Connect more than one provider and the router picks per task: cheap models for cheap work, frontier for hard. You can pin specific agents to specific providers in Settings → Routing.
The Coherence Cloud critic always uses a frontier judge regardless of producer routing — that's the whole point of an independent reviewer.
Security
- Keys are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM under a server-held secret. Plaintext is used only at the moment we call the provider on your behalf.
- You can rotate or delete a key from the dashboard at any time; future requests fail immediately.
- Set per-provider budgets to cap blast radius if a key leaks.
