AI providers and models

Generated page — every table below is read out of the app’s own source when this site is built. Do not edit this file by hand: pnpm run check and pnpm run build regenerate it and fail when what is committed here disagrees with the source.

Joinery ships with 6 providers and 36 models, in a configuration file the app reads at startup — version 2.2.0, last updated 2026-08-18. The provider picker and the model picker are built from this list, so neither can offer something the app cannot reach.

Every provider needs an API key of your own. Joinery ships no keys and proxies nothing: the main process talks to the vendor directly from your machine, with a key you supply.

Note — the key goes to the operating system’s credential store, never to a file in the profile. AI setup walks through adding one, and Prerequisites says where credentials live.

Column Meaning
Power rank 1–20, higher is more capable. Joinery matches this number when it picks a model for a non-chat AI feature.
Cost tier The band the configuration files the model under. It is a property of the file, not a price Joinery observes.
Context window Maximum input tokens, as the configuration records them.
Max output Maximum tokens in one reply, as the configuration records them.
Notes Nominated default is a flag in the file. Chat starts here is the model a new conversation actually opens on. Never auto-selected marks the routers, whose capability is whatever they route to.

The two default notes are not the same thing, and most vendors show only the second. 2 of the 6 nominate a default model in the file. For the rest, a conversation you have not pinned a model for opens on the highest-ranked stable model the vendor offers — preview models lose to a stable sibling, and routers are not eligible at all. Either way you can pin a preferred model per provider in AI setup, and override it for a single message in the composer.

The model picker in AI setup lists model names only; the numbers here are what the shipped configuration records behind them.

The AI setup dialog: a provider picker, an API key field with Save key beneath it, a preferred-model picker, a “Use this provider” switch, and the AI features switches below a divider.

docs-site/scripts/generate-reference.mjs reads these files and writes this page:

  • packages/shared/src/config/ai-vendors.json

That is the same file the app loads at startup. The generator asserts its shape before rendering anything, so a restructured configuration fails the docs build rather than emitting an empty table.

Data digest: bb66c87c9001 — a fingerprint of exactly the values rendered above. It changes when what the app ships changes, and not when an unrelated comment in one of those files does.

Regenerate from docs-site/ with pnpm run generate:reference.
