Connect a model
Type /models to open model settings, then:
- Choose a provider and add its API key when prompted. OpenAI and Copilot also support subscription sign-in.
- Wait for the provider's models to finish loading.
- Pick the model you want from the Model list, and start coding.
Switch providers or models anytime with /models. Your choice is saved to ~/.usesancue/providers.json.
