Supported LLM Providers
Goose is compatible with a wide range of LLM providers, allowing you to choose and integrate your preferred model.
:::tip Model Selection [Berkeley Function-Calling Leaderboard][function-calling-leaderboard] can be a good guide for selecting models. :::
Available Providers
| Provider | Description | Parameters |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon Bedrock | Offers a variety of foundation models, including Claude, Jurassic-2, and others. AWS environment variables must be set in advance, not configured through goose configure |
AWS_PROFILE, or AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_REGION |
| Amazon SageMaker TGI | Run Text Generation Inference models through Amazon SageMaker endpoints. AWS credentials must be configured in advance. | SAGEMAKER_ENDPOINT_NAME, AWS_REGION (optional), AWS_PROFILE (optional) |

CLI Providers
Goose also supports special "pass-through" providers that work with existing CLI tools, allowing you to use your subscriptions instead of paying per token:
| Provider | Description | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
Claude Code (claude-code) |
Uses Anthropic's Claude CLI tool with your Claude Code subscription. Provides access to Claude with 200K context limit. | Claude CLI installed and authenticated, active Claude Code subscription |
Cursor Agent (cursor-agent) |
Uses Cursor's AI CLI tool with your Cursor subscription. Provides access to GPT-5, Claude 4, and other models through the cursor-agent command-line interface. | cursor-agent CLI installed and authenticated |
Gemini CLI (gemini-cli) |
Uses Google's Gemini CLI tool with your Google AI subscription. Provides access to Gemini with 1M context limit. | Gemini CLI installed and authenticated |
:::tip CLI Providers CLI providers are cost-effective alternatives that use your existing subscriptions. They work differently from API providers as they execute CLI commands and integrate with the tools' native capabilities. See the CLI Providers guide for detailed setup instructions. :::

## Using Custom OpenAI Endpoints
Goose supports using custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints, which is particularly useful for:
- Self-hosted LLMs (e.g., LLaMA, Mistral) using vLLM or KServe
- Private OpenAI-compatible API servers
- Enterprise deployments requiring data governance and security compliance
- OpenAI API proxies or gateways
### Configuration Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------|
| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | Yes | Authentication key for the API |
| `OPENAI_HOST` | No | Custom endpoint URL (defaults to api.openai.com) |
| `OPENAI_ORGANIZATION` | No | Organization ID for usage tracking and governance |
| `OPENAI_PROJECT` | No | Project identifier for resource management |
| `OPENAI_CUSTOM_HEADERS` | No | Additional headers to include in the request. Can be set via environment variable, configuration file, or CLI, in the format `HEADER_A=VALUE_A,HEADER_B=VALUE_B`. |

## Using Goose for Free
Goose is a free and open source AI agent that you can start using right away, but not all supported [LLM Providers][providers] provide a free tier.
Below, we outline a couple of free options and how to get started with them.
:::warning Limitations
These free options are a great way to get started with Goose and explore its capabilities. However, you may need to upgrade your LLM for better performance.
:::
### Groq

Groq offers several open source models that support tool calling:
- **moonshotai/kimi-k2-instruct** - Mixture-of-Experts model with 1 trillion parameters, optimized for agentic intelligence and tool use
- **qwen/qwen3-32b** - 32.8 billion parameter model with advanced reasoning and multilingual capabilities
- **gemma2-9b-it** - Google's Gemma 2 model with instruction tuning
- **llama-3.3-70b-versatile** - Meta's Llama 3.3 model for versatile applications

### Local LLMs
Goose is a local AI agent, and by using a local LLM, you keep your data private, maintain full control over your environment, and can work entirely offline without relying on cloud access. However, please note that local LLMs require a bit more set up before you can use one of them with Goose.
:::warning Limited Support for models without tool calling
Goose extensively uses tool calling, so models without it can only do chat completion. If using models without tool calling, all Goose [extensions must be disabled](/docs/getting-started/using-extensions#enablingdisabling-extensions).
:::
Here are some local providers we support:
<Tabs groupId="local-llms">
<TabItem value="ollama" label="Ollama" default>
<Tabs groupId="ollama-models">
<TabItem value="ramalala" label="Ramalala">
1. [Download Ramalama](https://github.com/containers/ramalama?tab=readme-ov-file#install).
2. In a terminal, run any Ollama [model supporting tool-calling](https://ollama.com/search?c=tools) or [GGUF format HuggingFace Model](https://huggingface.co/search/full-text?q=%22tools+support%22+%2B+%22gguf%22&type=model):
The `--runtime-args="--jinja"` flag is required for Ramalama to work with the Goose Ollama provider.
Example:
```sh
ramalama serve --runtime-args="--jinja" ollama://qwen2.5

:::tip Context Length
If you notice that Goose is having trouble using extensions or is ignoring [.goosehints](/docs/guides/using-goosehints), it is likely that the model's default context length of 2048 tokens is too low. Use `ramalama serve` to set the `--ctx-size, -c` option to a [higher value](https://github.com/containers/ramalama/blob/main/docs/ramalama-serve.1.md#--ctx-size--c).

The default value for the host-side port Docker Model Runner is 12434, so the `OPENAI_HOST` value could be:
`http://localhost:12434`.
8. Configure the base path:
```
◆ Provider OpenAI requires OPENAI_BASE_PATH, please enter a value
│ v1/chat/completions (default)

Docker model runner uses `/engines/llama.cpp/v1/chat/completions` for the base path.

## Azure OpenAI Credential Chain
Goose supports two authentication methods for Azure OpenAI:
1. **API Key Authentication** - Uses the `AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY` for direct authentication
2. **Azure Credential Chain** - Uses Azure CLI credentials automatically without requiring an API key
To use the Azure Credential Chain:
- Ensure you're logged in with `az login`
- Have appropriate Azure role assignments for the Azure OpenAI service
- Configure with `goose configure` and select Azure OpenAI, leaving the API key field empty
This method simplifies authentication and enhances security for enterprise environments.
## Multi-Model Configuration
Beyond single-model setups, goose supports [multi-model configurations](/docs/guides/multi-model/) that can use different models and providers for specialized tasks:
- **AutoPilot** - Intelligent, context-aware switching between specialized models based on conversation content and complexity
- **Lead/Worker Model** - Automatic switching between a lead model for initial turns and a worker model for execution tasks
- **Planning Mode** - Manual planning phase using a dedicated model to create detailed project breakdowns before execution
