The five providers
You can connect several at once and switch between them from the model chip in the input bar.
Reasoning effort
Every provider has a reasoning effort setting — Off, Low, Medium, High (recommended), Max — controlling how much the model thinks before acting. The thinking streams into the bubble as reasoning cards. Set it per provider in onboarding or provider Settings; see Configuration.Vision and images
- Screenshot-driven features (computer use, browser screenshots, image attachments) need a vision-capable model — all current Anthropic/OpenAI/Gemini models qualify; local models vary.
- Image generation is available with OpenAI (
gpt-image-1) and Gemini (Imagen) keys. Anthropic doesn’t offer one — pair keys if you want images alongside Claude.
Switching
- Click the model chip and pick any connected provider/model — instant.
- Ask BOR: “switch to Gemini.”
- With multi-presence, different presences can run different providers side by side.
Model ids rotate every few months. The in-app picker always reflects the live list; the ids named in these docs are a snapshot.
