Quasar AI uses your own API keys to connect directly to each AI provider. Keys are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before being stored on the server.
- Open Settings (⚙️ icon, top right)
- Go to API Management
- Paste your key next to the provider and click Connect
| Provider | Get Key | Free Tier | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Gemini | aistudio.google.com/app/apikey | Yes | Gemini 2.5 Pro, Flash, and more |
| OpenAI | platform.openai.com/api-keys | No | GPT-4o, GPT-4 Turbo, GPT-3.5 |
| Anthropic | console.anthropic.com/settings/keys | No | Claude Sonnet, Haiku, Opus |
| Groq | console.groq.com/keys | Yes | Fastest inference; Llama, Mixtral |
| OpenRouter | openrouter.ai/keys | Yes (some models) | 200+ models from one key |
| Mistral | console.mistral.ai/api-keys | Yes | Mistral Large, Codestral, Pixtral |
- You only need keys for the providers you want to use — you don't need all six
- Groq has a generous free tier and is the fastest option for supported models
- OpenRouter lets you access models from many providers with a single key
- Keys are never sent to Quasar's servers in plain text — they are encrypted client-side before syncing
To remove a provider's key, clear the key field in Settings → API Management and click Connect with it empty.
