BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)

Bring Your Own Key: connect the app with your own model API key — billing and the data channel run directly between you and the model provider.

Under BYOK, the app is just the orchestration layer: you open your own account with OpenAI, Anthropic or others, get your own key, and the app calls models with it. The benefits: transparent cost (provider list prices), a clear data path (the app never touches your billing or quota), and freedom to switch providers.

Enclave supports BYOK natively: each character can be configured with a different provider's key, or pointed at a local model you host yourself.
