# Custom AI Provider Management

The provider management system has been rebuilt from the ground up. Now you can add your own AI providers, edit existing ones, and configure custom models with specific capability settings. Available in both the open-source edition and [LobeHub Cloud](https://LobeHub.com).

## Full control over your providers

Previously, you were limited to a fixed set of pre-configured providers. The new system lets you:

- **Add custom providers**: Connect to any OpenAI-compatible API endpoint
- **Edit existing setups**: Modify provider settings without waiting for updates
- **Configure custom models**: Define your own model entries with specific capabilities (vision, function calling, file support)
- **Remove unused providers**: Clean up your list to focus on what you actually use

## Multimodal ready

The system supports language, image, and voice capabilities today. Configure which models can process images, which support tool calling, and which handle file uploads. Video and music generation support is planned for upcoming releases.
