Models & Providers

What are Models?

Models are the AI engines that power intelligent operations in Noxus. They process text, make decisions, and generate responses based on their training and configuration. Noxus provides a unified interface to various AI models from leading providers, making it easy to leverage state-of-the-art AI capabilities.

Models serve as the foundation for all AI operations in the platform, from simple text generation to complex multi-modal processing. Each model brings unique capabilities and strengths, allowing you to choose the best fit for your specific use case.

Connecting Providers

Connecting a provider is fast and secure. Add your API key (or complete an OAuth flow where required), and Noxus handles credentials, secure storage, and API communication. Once connected, models from that provider are available across your agents and flows with a consistent interface. Provider Configuration

Authentication Management: Securely store API keys or OAuth credentials with encryption.
Health Monitoring: Noxus continuously monitors provider connections and automatically handles failures with fallback routing.
Multi-Region Support: Providers like Vertex AI and AWS Bedrock support multi-region configuration for data residency and latency optimization.

Model Capabilities

Capability	Description	Features
Text Processing	Natural language understanding and generation	Chat completion, text generation, analysis
Vision	Image understanding and processing	Image analysis, multi-modal chat, visual QA
Function Calling	Structured tool use	API integration, data extraction, agent tools
Reasoning	Extended thinking and chain-of-thought	Complex analysis, multi-step problem solving
JSON Mode	Structured output generation	Reliable data extraction, schema-constrained output

Model capabilities vary by provider and specific model version. The model picker shows capability badges for each model.

Model Selection

Noxus offers two ways to select models for your flows and agents:

Model Presets

Presets are named bundles of models tried in priority order. Instead of hardcoding a specific model, you reference a preset like Cost-Effective Models or High-Performance Models — the platform picks the best available model at runtime based on your active providers. Presets handle fallback automatically: if the first model encounters an error, the next one in the chain is used.

Custom Selection

For fine-grained control, switch to Custom models to hand-pick specific models from your connected providers. The model browser shows speed and quality gauges, capabilities, and provider information for each model.

Model Configuration

Core Configuration Options:

Model Selection: Choose from presets or custom models across all connected providers.
Temperature: Control response creativity (0.0 for focused, 1.0 for creative)
Max Tokens: Set response length limits
And more per-node parameters depending on the node type.
