GraphN routes each agent to a language model you choose in the agent editor. Built-in models are ready to use; you can also import an OpenAI-compatible endpoint (for example vLLM, Ollama with the OpenAI API, or a third-party API) and select it like any other model.
Built-in models
When you open the Models page (under Resources in the sidebar), you see a card grid of every model available in your workspace. When configuring an Agent node on the workflow canvas, you pick a model from a dropdown in the node panel. Both views list the same chat and vision models.
Chat and multimodal models
The following models are available in the model picker. Each links to its catalog page with the full editorial write-up, specifications, and runnable API examples. Your deployment may also include additional models discovered from the inference gateway; these appear alongside the built-in entries with names derived from their model identifiers.
Speech and images in one conversational model, without a separate ASR step.
Note: The agent model selector offers chat and vision models. Your deployment may show additional models discovered from the inference gateway; they appear in the same picker with capabilities and context limits inferred from their model identifiers.

Speech, OCR, and retrieval models (not in the agent model picker)
The platform registers speech-to-text, text-to-speech, OCR, embedding, and reranker models for features such as voice input and output, document reading, and retrieval. They are not offered as the main LLM in the agent model selector.

Import an endpoint (next section) and pick that model
Custom model import
Import an OpenAI-compatible HTTP API whose chat path is /v1/chat/completions (same request shape as OpenAI). Typical sources include vLLM, Ollama (OpenAI compatibility mode), OpenAI, Google Gemini via OpenAI compatibility, and OpenRouter.
Tip: Want to import directly from HuggingFace or your own S3 bucket from a script instead of the wizard below? See the Python SDK tutorial for an end-to-end walk-through.
Import from the UI
In the sidebar, under Resources, click Models.
Click Import Model (top-right corner).
The import wizard has two tabs:
API Endpoint (connect to a running inference server):
Choose a provider:
OpenAI, Google (Gemini), or OpenRouter — preset base URLs; you attach a secret that stores your API key, then use Fetch Available Models to list models from /v1/models (filtered to chat-relevant entries).
Custom Provider — for any other OpenAI-compatible base URL (for example http://your-host:8000/v1 for a local vLLM server). Enter the endpoint URL, model id (exactly as the server expects in API calls), and optionally an API key secret if the server requires authentication.
(Optional) Click Configure to set type (chat, vision, or embedding), capabilities (for example tool calling, vision, streaming, json mode), context length, and description.
Click Import. You are taken to the new model’s detail page.
Tip: For self-hosted vLLM or Ollama, the base URL usually ends with /v1. The model id must match what you pass when calling that server (for example the served model name).
HuggingFace Weights (deploy a model from HuggingFace):
Enter the full HuggingFace model ID (for example meta-llama/Llama-3-8B-Instruct).
Optionally set a display name (auto-generated from the model ID if left blank).
If the model is gated or private, click Attach secret to provide your HuggingFace token.
Click Validate & Continue to proceed through the optimization and scaling steps.

Test the connection before using an agent
After import, open the imported model’s page. In the Test Model section, enter a short prompt and run the test. The app streams a reply so you can confirm the endpoint, credentials, and model id work together.
Warning: If the test fails, fix the endpoint URL, secret, or model id before selecting this model on an agent—otherwise runs will fail at inference time.
Verify connectivity with the API (optional)
You can send a single chat completion through GraphN to validate an endpoint before or after saving an imported model, using the same workspace and auth as the app.
Replace the placeholders with your workspace id, bearer token, base URL (must include /v1), and upstream model id:
bash
curl-X POST "https://cp.graphn.ai/v1/${WORKSPACE_ID}/imported-models/test-connection"\-H"Content-Type: application/json"\-H"Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}"\-d'{
"endpoint": "https://your-endpoint.example.com/v1",
"model_id": "your-model-name",
"api_key_secret_id": null,
"message": "Reply with one short sentence."
}'
Omit api_key_secret_id or set it to null when the server does not use a bearer token. When you store a key in Secrets, pass that secret’s id so the test can authenticate.
A successful response includes a response field with the generated text, the model name returned by the server, and usage token counts when the upstream returns them.
Register an imported model with the API
To create the imported model record programmatically (equivalent to finishing the import wizard):
Use a unique name (URL-friendly identifier) within the workspace; agents reference this value as the model setting. display_name is what people see in lists and selectors.
