# Connecting own API keys, local models and custom endpoints (`setup.provider_byok_local`)

Feedback Bench, coding agents, built 2026-10-19, window 2026-08-31 to 2026-10-18. Web page: https://feedbackbench.com/coding-agents/#/criterion/setup.provider_byok_local

Area: [Setting up and connecting](https://feedbackbench.com/coding-agents/criteria/setup.md)

**Definition.** Whether user-supplied providers work: bring-your-own-key, OpenAI-compatible endpoints, OpenRouter, and local servers such as Ollama or LM Studio.

**Boundary.** Not this: see [Using an existing subscription across tools](https://feedbackbench.com/coding-agents/criteria/billing.subscription_portability.md) for reusing a paid subscription. Not this: see rel.tool_call_errors for tool-format failures once connected.

Rated user-weeks, all agents: 933. Complaint share: 48%.

## The brief

Written by large language models from this page's numbers and the posts it quotes, then checked: every number in the text is in the build. Interpretation, not measurement.

Pi is the best coding agent for using your own keys and local models. Its users describe local models running inside it with little overhead, and it is the only ranked agent rated better than the category norm here. OpenAI Codex, Claude Code and Cline also rank high. Users rate this less often than most topics: it makes up 1.1% of what users of coding agents rate, 42nd of 63 criteria. Cursor ranks last, 9th of 9. Cursor and Google Antigravity are both rated worse than the norm, and GitHub Copilot also ranks low.

### What separates the best from the rest

What separates the two groups is whether the option exists and works. Users of Pi, Cline and OpenAI Codex say they plug in a local model or a DeepSeek key and it runs. Users of the agents that rank low describe an option that is missing or broken. They say the Antigravity IDE cannot run a local model, Cursor no longer lets them use local models, and bring-your-own-key in Copilot never worked for them. Pi has 54 praise to 21 complaint; Cursor has 26 praise to 57 complaint.

  - Pi, 2026-10-13, r/PiCodingAgent (Reddit): “yeah my device can run fit a 8b model locally and that's a neat thing to have inside of pi, very little overhead and efficient” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/PiCodingAgent/comments/1x547li/dev_workflow_beyond_traditional_harnesses/pgk1p3o/)
  - Cline, 2026-09-15, @cline (X): “@cline just downloaded and plugged in deepseek. works great. how about a right panel with a browser like codex or zcode? or is that not built in yet? @cline” [source](https://twitter.com/1885730256432324608/status/2099935916219613455)

  - Cursor, 2026-10-14, @cursor_ai (X): “@uixmat @cursor_ai its inferior unfortunately. i had active subscriptions on cursor, claude and codex but dropped cursor a while ago when it failed to connect to deepseek api. that was the last drop for me.” [source](https://twitter.com/1701469498887294976/status/2110258515877240888)

## How it breaks

Rule: A separate pass sorts complaints into failure modes. For each criterion with at least 30 complaining user-weeks, a large language model reads 150 complaint posts drawn at random and names 4 to 8 failure modes; a second large language model then puts every complaint post on that criterion in one mode, or in Other when it fits none. Modes are fixed once named, and new posts are sorted into them each week. A mode counts distinct user-weeks with a complaint in it, per agent; across agents, one user-week per agent. Modes do not change the labels or the Feedback Score. Examples: up to 3 posts per mode from different users, chosen and checked as receipts are.

The most common complaint is that a product offers no way to add other providers or local models at all. That is 27% of complaints. Cursor users write 22% of these and Google Antigravity users 19%. The next is a valid custom endpoint that fails to connect, at 20%. OpenCode users write 37% of those. OpenCode also leads complaints about proxy workarounds, local models that perform badly, and custom models that get dropped or replaced.

456 complaining user-weeks.

| Failure mode | User-weeks | Posts | Agents (user-weeks) | Definition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Third-party providers or local models not offered | 125 | 131 | Cursor 27, Google Antigravity 24, Claude Code 14, OpenAI Codex 13, Amp 9, OpenCode 9, Devin 7, Zed 6, Factory 5, Pi 4, Conductor 3, GitHub Copilot 3, Kiro 1 | The product has no option at all for user-supplied keys, custom endpoints, other vendors' models or local servers, or limits them to its own vendor's models or subscription; cases where the option exists but fails are out. |
| Configured custom endpoint fails to connect | 91 | 92 | OpenCode 34, OpenAI Codex 10, Cursor 8, Amp 7, Pi 7, Zed 6, Cline 5, GitHub Copilot 5, Claude Code 3, Warp 3, Google Antigravity 2, Factory 1 | The user enters a valid key, base URL or local server (Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, OpenRouter) and the agent rejects it, gives auth, quota or 'no models' errors, or won't save it, even though the same endpoint works elsewhere; poor model quality once connected is out. |
| Local models degrade inside the agent harness | 52 | 56 | OpenCode 18, OpenAI Codex 14, Claude Code 5, Pi 4, GitHub Copilot 3, Google Antigravity 2, Cline 2, Zed 2, Cursor 1, Factory 1 | Local or non-native models connect but perform badly in the agent: broken tool calls, stalls, tiny context windows, hallucinations, or worse results than in the model's native harness; failures to connect at all are out. |
| API format mismatch requires proxy workaround | 51 | 58 | OpenCode 20, OpenAI Codex 12, Claude Code 5, Cursor 5, Amp 3, Google Antigravity 2, Cline 2, GitHub Copilot 1, Factory 1 | The agent speaks a different protocol or schema than the provider expects (chat completions vs responses, generateContent, custom headers, model registry name blocks), so users have to build relays, proxies or patches; providers that are simply not offered are out. |
| Bring-your-own-key models lose product features | 45 | 46 | OpenAI Codex 13, Claude Code 8, Cursor 8, Factory 4, Google Antigravity 2, GitHub Copilot 2, OpenCode 2, Warp 2, Cline 1, Conductor 1, Devin 1, Zed 1 | Once connected, user-supplied or local models are locked out of agent or plan mode, missions, autocomplete, computer use, plugins, reasoning-effort settings or other features that work only with the vendor's own models or login. |
| Agent overrides or drops selected custom model | 39 | 40 | OpenCode 16, OpenAI Codex 7, Google Antigravity 3, Amp 2, GitHub Copilot 2, Cursor 2, Pi 2, Warp 2, Claude Code 1, Cline 1, Factory 1 | Custom models or providers that were set up disappear, get merged, can't be edited, or are quietly replaced by billed vendor models or credit gates, even though the user chose a custom endpoint. |
| Missing documentation for custom provider setup | 20 | 23 | OpenCode 9, Pi 4, OpenAI Codex 3, Claude Code 1, Cline 1, GitHub Copilot 1, Factory 1 | Users can't work out how to configure keys, endpoints or local models because docs, setting locations or notices about breaking changes are missing or hard to find; setups that are documented but still fail are out. |
| Other | 46 | 46 | OpenCode 13, Claude Code 10, Cursor 7, OpenAI Codex 5, Amp 3, GitHub Copilot 3, Google Antigravity 2, Conductor 1, Devin 1, Warp 1 | Complaints that fit none of the modes above. |

- Claude Code, 2026-10-07, r/LocalLLaMA (Reddit): “all those companies make it purposefully difficult to even record your own usage. for example anthropic in claude code, if you use your own proxy server (like litellm that saves prompts and responses) switch off remote control feature. why? to punish those that use it.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1wymgu6/pewdiepie_getting_banned_twice_by_openai_while/pefpu1f/)

#### Agent overrides or drops selected custom model

## Top requests

What users ask to add or change, most asked first. 570 user-weeks ask for something. Requests do not change the Feedback Score. Rule: A separate pass by a large language model reads every counted post and extracts what the user asks the agent or its vendor to add or change, with the criteria it maps to and a short normalised wording; it does not touch the labels or the Feedback Score. A large language model groups the wordings within each criterion (the first criterion the request maps to) into themes, and a second pass merges themes that ask for the same change under different criteria; a merged theme sits under the criterion most of its requests map to, and code counts it once. A theme counts distinct user-weeks that ask for it, per agent; across agents, one user-week per agent. Themes asked in fewer than 2 user-weeks, and requests that share no theme, are not shown. Examples: up to 3 posts per theme from different users, without slurs: whole posts of 60 to 450 characters with at least 8 words beyond handles and links, posts of at most 280 characters first, then the newest.

### 1. Local model support

- Google Antigravity, 2026-10-14, @antigravity (X): “@antigravity very strong model and they should be proud of the work. antigravity is behind but i think if they look at t3 as a gap and include some local models in their workflow i think they could do some really great things i know they already started support for local” [source](https://twitter.com/373800245/status/2110339625315393989)

### 2. Custom OpenAI-compatible provider endpoints

- OpenAI Codex, 2026-10-12, r/ClaudeAI (Reddit): “yea i’ll probably remake this idea and open source it when i get some time. being claude only is lame also. it should support claude, codex, and openai compatible endpoints. no way am i downloading a closed source mod the dev is so dodgy about.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1x3olix/i_made_a_free_minecraft_mod_where_claude_builds/pfdoeag/)

### 4. Run agent locally instead of cloud

- Cursor, 2026-10-10, @cursor_ai (X): “the business will be to use @cursor_ai to create a local agent that does what i need without requiring credits. probably some clone of @bot.” [source](https://twitter.com/162969818/status/2109036656967770459)

- OpenAI Codex, 2026-09-18, r/codex (Reddit): “i sincerely hope that we can finally have some really good models that can run locally. it's a disaster to pay so much and on top of that, we are being treated poorly.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1wj6tl0/in_case_youre_wondering_this_is_what_100_plan/paixt87/)

### 7. OpenRouter integration

- Amp, 2026-10-13, @AmpCode (X): “@vanamerongen @ampcode been looking at this for some time now. only thing holding me back is that i can't seem to use models from fireworks and/or openrouter. currently i'm on opencode.” [source](https://twitter.com/1259457132/status/2109991090074128893)

- Cursor, 2026-10-02, @cursor_ai (X): “@cursor_ai this is actually disgusting. glm 5.3 flash is 50% off 0.25 on openrouter. it is far worse than luna at 0.50. at this point, might as well support openrouter models to get access to all openai gpt-6.1. it is not like you don't take a cut already.” [source](https://twitter.com/2082257621642571776/status/2105988552370634846)

### 8. BYOK without paid plan or credit gating

- Amp, 2026-09-28, @AmpCode (X): “@sqs i would love if @ampcode could use the amp-provided inference first, then fall back to byok. use case: we gave a pm the $20 plan. he may occasionally exceed it, but not enough to justify the $200 plan. we’d like overflow to route to anthropic since we have credits there.” [source](https://twitter.com/1567548474794835969/status/2104601493374750970)

### 9. Use Claude Code or Codex CLI as backend

- OpenAI Codex, 2026-10-11, r/codex (Reddit): “codex router? i'm thinking of plugging my chatgpt sub into opencode. or is there something which integrates third party models into codex?

- Amp, 2026-10-05, @AmpCode (X): “@ampcode hope external agents (claude code cli) are on the way to prime time. pretty essential piece for those of us who want to use claude's subscription. i'd love to see the rough edges improve :)” [source](https://twitter.com/15281463/status/2107105270086160575)

### 10. Full feature parity for BYOK models

- Google Antigravity, 2026-10-15, r/google_antigravity (Reddit): “greetings! i'd like to ask to add functionality for agy to work with an api key. it is actually in there already, but for some reason it doesn't support argon natively as well as if you do enable it, it doesn't use implemented skills.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1x6w3op/agy_api_key/)

### 11. OpenCode provider integration

- Zed, 2026-09-26, @zeddotdev (X): “@zeddotdev this will be hard to test until claude code plans can be used. hope you guys figure out a way. opencode should be easy to implement too.” [source](https://twitter.com/2065156316562141184/status/2103808310642131452)

## Posts

Receipts rule: Up to 5 praise and 5 complaint posts per area and 3 per criterion. Each is a whole post of 60 to 450 characters (700 for areas) with at least 8 words beyond handles and links, that judges the criterion, whose labels are all praise or all complaint, and that contains no slur. Posts that touch the fewest criteria come first, then posts of at most 280 characters, then the newest. A second large language model reads the first 3 candidates per slot and keeps a post only if it clearly praises, or clearly complains about, the agent on that criterion. Links and personal details removed by the source show as marks such as [link].
