BYOLLM lets you point Palanor at your own LLM provider keys (Anthropic, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI) instead of routing through Palanor's managed credentials. Two reasons to use it: compliance and cost predictability.
Compliance
Some enterprises require that prompts and completions live entirely within their own provider account — typically because the LLM provider has a signed BAA or DPA with them but not with Palanor. BYOLLM keeps the entire LLM I/O on your account.
Cost predictability
If you have negotiated discounted token rates with a provider, BYOLLM lets Palanor inherit those rates. You pay Palanor Enterprise plus your own LLM bill.
Credits
Language-model work on your key uses no credits from your organization's pool. Images and audio still do. See Credits Explained.
How it works
Go to Settings → Connections and add your API key. Palanor encrypts it at rest. You can flip a single switch to route all future LLM calls through your key. Switching back is also one click.
What does not change
Math, ranking, scenario compute, prompt structure — all of these are Palanor's IP and are unchanged by BYOLLM. Only the token I/O moves to your provider account.
