Organisation admins choose which model provider powers all AI features (AI Assistant, AI Insights, incident analysis, CI/CD file generation, summaries). Configure it under Organisation Settings → AI → Provider.

​
Provider Modes

ModeWhat it isWhen to use it
Ankra (default)Platform-managed key, zero configurationGetting started; no key management
AnthropicYour own Anthropic API keyFull feature parity with your own billing and data agreement — the agentic loop is Anthropic-native
OpenAI-compatibleAny OpenAI v1 endpoint: LiteLLM, vLLM, TGI, Ollama, OpenRouter, Together, and similarSelf-hosted or third-party models behind an OpenAI-style API
Credentials and the active selection are stored separately — you can save and validate a configuration first, then switch the active provider when ready.

​
Configure Anthropic

1

Save the key

In the Anthropic card, paste an API key (must start with sk-ant-). Ankra validates it with a one-token health check before saving.
2

Switch the provider

Select Anthropic in the provider picker. Switching is blocked until a valid key is saved.
Keys are stored in Vault; the UI only ever shows a masked preview (sk-ant-...XXXX). Deleting the key while Anthropic is active automatically reverts the organisation to the Ankra provider.

​
Configure an OpenAI-Compatible Endpoint

1

Save the configuration

In the OpenAI-compatible card, provide:
  • Base URL — the endpoint’s OpenAI /v1 root, http(s):// (e.g. https://my-litellm.internal/v1)
  • Model — the model identifier your endpoint serves
  • API key — the endpoint’s key
Ankra probes GET {'{base_url}'}/models on save to verify the endpoint responds. An incorrect model id only surfaces at the first AI call.
2

Switch the provider

Select OpenAI-compatible in the provider picker.
In OpenAI-compatible mode, tool-using AI paths — the agentic AI Assistant, AI Insights, CI/CD file generation, and deploy analysis — fall back to the Ankra platform provider. Stack descriptions and summaries run natively against your endpoint. The What runs where matrix on the settings page shows the current mapping.

​
Permissions

Only organisation admins can view previews, save credentials, or switch providers. Other members see the settings read-only. The AI settings page has three more tabs:
  • Skills — organisation-specific AI skills; see AI Skills
  • Insights — the org-wide toggle for Proactive AI Insights
  • Advanced — the read-only system-prompt variant in use
