Provider reference	Review every cloud and local model provider supported by Eigent.	list

Eigent supports multiple provider types so open-source deployments can choose models based on capability, cost, privacy, and infrastructure.

Provider availability and required fields are defined by the current application. Use this page as an overview and the provider's official documentation for account, model, and billing details.

Local runtimes

Runtime	Default endpoint	Model discovery
Ollama	http://localhost:11434/v1	Reads the Ollama tags API
vLLM	http://localhost:8000/v1	Enter the served model when not listed
SGLang	http://localhost:30000/v1	Enter the served model when not listed
LM Studio	http://localhost:1234/v1	Enter the loaded model when not listed
LLaMA.cpp	http://localhost:8080/v1	Reads the OpenAI-compatible models endpoint

Configure a cloud provider

1. Create an account with the provider.
2. Create a restricted API credential.
3. Confirm the provider endpoint and model identifier.
4. In Eigent, open Agents > Models.
5. Select the provider and enter the values.
6. Validate and save.
7. Run a small test task.

Configure an OpenAI-compatible endpoint

Use the OpenAI-compatible provider for services that implement compatible chat APIs.

Provide:

• Base endpoint
• API key when required
• Exact model identifier exposed by the service

Compatibility can vary. Test streaming, tool calls, and structured responses before using the provider for production work.

Configure a local runtime

1. Install and start the runtime.
2. Load or serve a model.
3. Confirm the endpoint responds locally.
4. In Eigent, open Agents > Models > Local.
5. Select the runtime.
6. Enter the endpoint and model.
7. Validate and enable it.

Screenshot placeholder: Add a composite screenshot showing one cloud provider form, Azure provider-specific fields, and one local runtime form. Blur credentials.

Video placeholder: Add a 90-second MP4 showing an Ollama model and an OpenAI-compatible cloud endpoint being configured and tested. Include captions.

Provider page checklist

Each dedicated provider guide should include:

1. Account or runtime prerequisites
2. Credential creation
3. Endpoint format
4. Model identifier examples
5. Eigent configuration
6. Validation
7. Common errors
8. Billing and privacy notes

Security guidance

• Do not include credentials in screenshots, logs, or issue reports.
• Use least-privilege cloud credentials.
• Restrict local endpoints to trusted networks.
• Rotate keys after accidental exposure.
• Review the provider's data-retention policy.
