AI Models — Integration Guide

Overview

ChimerAI supports multiple AI providers out of the box. The Models page lets you browse all configured models, their capabilities, and switch between them in the chat interface.

Quick Start

npx chimerai add model-providers

This scaffolds:

• app/api/models/route.ts — returns active models from the database
• lib/model-providers/ — provider adapters (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, …)
• prisma/schema.prisma — ModelConfig table

Supported Providers

Environment Variables

Database Model

model ModelConfig {
  id           String   @id @default(cuid())
  name         String
  modelId      String   @unique
  providerType String   // "openai" | "anthropic" | "google" | "custom"
  providerName String
  isActive     Boolean  @default(true)
  createdAt    DateTime @default(now())
}

API Endpoint

// GET /api/models
export async function GET() {
  const models = await prisma.modelConfig.findMany({
    where: { isActive: true },
    orderBy: { createdAt: 'asc' },
  });
  return Response.json(models);
}

Using a Model in Chat

import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { anthropic } from '@ai-sdk/anthropic';

function getModel(providerType: string, modelId: string) {
  switch (providerType) {
    case 'anthropic':
      return anthropic(modelId);
    case 'google':
      return google(modelId);
    default:
      return openai(modelId);
  }
}
