Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)¶
Glassy's BYOK feature lets you connect your own AI provider API keys, bypassing the cloud AI cost cap.
How AI billing works in Glassy: On-device AI runs in your browser via WebGPU and is free forever on every plan — no key, no cost, nothing uploaded. Cloud AI is opt-in and paid after a generous monthly allotment. BYOK lets you route cloud requests through your own provider account instead.
Supported providers¶
- OpenAI: GPT-4o, GPT-4o mini
- Anthropic: Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Haiku
- Google: Gemini 2.0 Flash, Gemini 2.5 Pro
Setup¶
- Navigate to Settings > AI > Bring Your Own Key
- Select a provider and paste your API key
- Keys are encrypted at rest and never sent to Glassy's servers
- Select your preferred model from the dropdown
Security¶
- API keys are stored encrypted in your browser's local storage
- Keys are never transmitted to Glassy's infrastructure
- BYOK requests go directly from your browser to the provider
Feature flag¶
BYOK requires the ENABLE_BYOK feature flag to be enabled on your instance.
