Bring your own model (BYO model)
What is Bring your own model (BYO model)?
Bring your own model (BYO model) means connecting your own AI model — via a login, API key, or local model — instead of paying for one bundled into the tool.
BYO model avoids paying twice for AI, lets you pick the best model per task, and keeps requests under provider terms you already trust.
Korden charges for the crew, not for tokens — so there's no second AI bill.
