Use Your Provider Key on a dPanel.ai Box

Add a model-provider key to your Vault once, test it, and apply it to the Box that should use it.

My Vault: provider keys and the Box host chooser.

Add and test the key

Open My Vault, choose the provider, paste the key, and test the connection. dPanel.ai shows the connection state and keeps the secret hidden from then on. Keys are encrypted at rest and stay out of client Boxes.

Apply it to a Box

Choose the provider, choose the Box, optionally choose a model, and confirm. Any worker on that Box can now run on your key.

Your provider bills the usage

With your own key, model calls are billed by your provider account. your dPanel.ai credits stay untouched, and Usage & Costs still shows what each task consumed.

Continue in dPanel.ai
