Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the most common questions about using Atlarix.
Which AI models can I use?
Any of them. Atlarix ships with built-in Core models and supports bring-your-own-key (BYOK) for 145+ providers and 4,400+ tool-capable models, read live from the models.dev catalog — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, OpenRouter and every OpenAI-compatible endpoint — plus local models via Ollama and LM Studio. The list refreshes itself, so new models appear without an app update. Add keys under Settings → AI Providers.
How do I use my own API key?
Settings → AI Providers → choose a provider → paste your key. Your key is stored locally on your device and used to call that provider directly. BYOK models appear in the model selector alongside Core models.
I'm getting an AI error — what do I do?
Most errors are provider-side (rate limits, quota, transient overload). See the AI rate limit & provider errors guide at /docs/help/ai-rate-limit — usually switching models or retrying resolves it.
Is my code private?
Your code stays on your machine. When you send a message, only the context needed for that turn is sent to the AI provider you selected. With BYOK or local models, requests go directly to that provider (or never leave your machine, for local models).
What platforms are supported?
