AI providers
Connect an API-key provider or subscription once, and every Runner on your account can use it.
Bots think with your own AI accounts. Connect a provider once, on any paired device, and it reaches every other device encrypted with your account key.
| Provider | How you connect | Default model |
|---|---|---|
| DeepSeek | API key | deepseek-flash |
| Anthropic | API key | claude-opus-5 |
| OpenCode Zen | API key, pay as you go | deepseek-v4.1-flash |
| OpenCode Go | API key and Go subscription | glm-5.3-flash |
| ChatGPT | Sign in with your ChatGPT subscription | gpt-6-sol |
| Grok | Sign in with SuperGrok or X Premium+ | grok-4.7 |
DeepSeek, Anthropic, ChatGPT, and Grok search the web on the provider's side. Grok also searches X.
Connect
In the desktop or phone app, open Settings › Providers, select a provider, and choose Connect.
- API key: paste the key. Lorca checks it against the provider before saving.
- Sign-in: your browser opens the provider's own sign-in page. Lorca never sees your password.
From a terminal:
lorca provider set deepseek
lorca provider set anthropic
lorca provider set opencode
lorca provider set opencode-go
lorca provider set chatgpt
lorca provider listCustom API endpoint
For a proxy or a compatible server, fill in Base URL when you connect any API-key provider. The key is checked against that endpoint.
Pick a model per bot
Each bot chooses its provider, model, and thinking level in the New Bot sheet, under Runs with in the desktop-app inspector, or in the phone's bot Details. A bot with no model set uses the provider's default.
If a bot's provider is not connected, its turn ends with a note that says to connect it in Settings.
Disconnect
Disconnect removes the credential from every device. For Grok it also revokes the sign-in.
Cost
DeepSeek, Anthropic, and OpenCode Zen bill by usage; OpenCode Go applies usage to its subscription limits. The inspector shows what each chat has spent. ChatGPT and Grok sign-ins use your subscription, and the figure shown is what the work would cost at API rates.
