Models
Model access overview for Coven: OpenAI through Codex, Anthropic through Claude Code, local models through future harnesses, and no daemon credential ownership.
1 min read
Coven is not a model gateway. It does not store provider credentials, route model API calls, or mint provider tokens. A familiar reaches models through a harness.
Current model paths
| Provider path | Current posture |
|---|---|
| OpenAI | Through the Codex harness. |
| Anthropic | Through the Claude Code harness. |
| Future adapter direction; not current v0 support. | |
| Local models | Future/local harness direction; not a daemon credential feature. |
What Coven sees
Coven sees harness process output and exits. It does not see provider API requests unless the harness prints them. It does not need API keys to launch a session.
Client rule
Clients should not pass model credentials into Coven. They should launch a harness whose provider auth is already complete and let the harness call the provider.
For the exact credential boundary, see Provider boundary and Harness provider auth.
