Extending: Models
Models are the reasoning engine behind each agent. Extending OpenFlows with a new model is a configuration-only change: you enable the model in the platform's AI catalog, and the team can then route any role to it. No system code is involved.
Where models live
Models are configured in the platform's AI settings (the Coder dashboard), where you enable the models you want available. OpenFlows then references those models for each role — so the catalog lives in the platform, and the per-role assignment lives in your team's registry.
Enabling a new model
- Open the platform's AI settings in the Coder dashboard.
- Enable the model you want to add to the catalog.
- Save. The model is now available for any role to reference.
This is a platform-level change. From here, assigning a role to the new model is a separate step that lives in the agent registry — see Model Routing.
What you should see
- The model appears in the platform's catalog and is assignable to roles.
- A role you point at the new model starts using it for the work of that role.
- The model is available to route across the team the moment you enable it.

Related extensions
Skills, MCP servers, and models are the three configuration-only capability extensions. They compose: a role can carry several skills, reach several tools, and run on whatever enabled model suits its job.
