# LLM Profiles and Model Configuration

> Configure models in Agent Canvas and use saved LLM profiles during conversations.

Agent Canvas supports configuring your LLM provider, model, and credentials from the UI. It also supports saved **LLM profiles**, which make it easier to switch models without re-entering provider settings each time.

## Where to Configure Models

Open `Settings > LLM` to:

* choose a provider
* select or enter a model
* add the required API key
* save reusable LLM profiles

## Working with LLM Profiles

LLM profiles are useful when you want different model setups for different tasks, such as:

* a fast profile for iteration
* a stronger profile for planning or review
* a local model profile for offline experiments

## Switching Profiles in a Conversation

You can switch profiles from the chat input with the `/model` command:

* `/model` — list the saved profiles available to the conversation
* `/model <profile-name>` — switch to a specific saved profile

Agent Canvas also shows model-switch events in the conversation timeline so you can see when a profile changed during a task.

<Note>
  LLM profiles are fully supported in Agent Canvas and are still rolling out in OpenHands Cloud. If you connect Agent Canvas to a cloud backend, profiles you configure in Agent Canvas may be available there before the same profiles appear in the hosted OpenHands Cloud UI for your account.
</Note>

## Recommended Workflow

1. Configure a default profile in `Settings > LLM`.
2. Create additional profiles for specific tasks or cost levels.
3. Start a conversation.
4. Use `/model` when you want to switch profiles without leaving the chat.
