Updated 2026-11-11

Open models appear under **Custom models** next to your existing Droid choices.

**Connection**

| Connection | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Control site | `https://runinfra.ai` |
| Command | `runinfra` |
| Sign-in | Approve the device code in your browser. Keep your API key out of agent chat. |
| Billing | The existing funding rules of your open-model account. |

Replace `MODEL_ID` with an available id from [Open models](https://runinfra.ai/inference-api?utm_source=rightnowai.co&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=docs-open-models); read current capabilities, limits and prices from `GET /v1/models`.

## Set up

**Text**

```text
Set up the open-models service in this coding agent for me. Read https://runinfra.ai/docs/tools-sdks/agent-setup.md and follow it step by step. If you cannot open links, run `npx -y @runinfra/cli@latest --help` and follow its FOR CODING AGENTS section. I approve sign-in in my browser. Before you install anything, change this agent's settings or spend money, show me the plan and wait for my yes.
```

Paste it into your agent, approve sign-in in your browser, and say yes to the plan. [All steps](https://www.rightnowai.co/docs/open-models/guides/coding-agents)

## Start

Restart Droid, then use `/model` to choose an open-models service model under **Custom models** and its thinking level. For some model families, Droid keeps its own thinking settings. Check the selected [model page](https://runinfra.ai/inference-api?utm_source=rightnowai.co&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=docs-open-models) for its current requirements.

When the open-models service adds or removes models, run `runinfra models sync droid`.

## Undo

Ask your agent to disconnect the open-models service, or run `runinfra` and pick Droid. Your other providers stay.
