--- title: 'AI Providers' description: 'Overview of supported AI providers and configuration options' --- This guide provides an overview of the AI providers supported by CentralMind Gateway, along with configuration options and examples. ## Supported Providers We support the following AI providers: - [**OpenAI**](/providers/openai) and all OpenAI-compatible providers - [**Anthropic**](/providers/anthropic) - [**Amazon Bedrock**](/providers/bedrock) - [**Google Vertex AI (Anthropic)**](/providers/anthropic-vertexai) - [**Google Gemini**](/providers/gemini) We've tested with `OpenAI o3-mini`, `Anthropic Claude 3.7` and `Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking`, which we recommend for optimal performance. [Google Gemini](https://docs.centralmind.ai/providers/gemini) provides a generous **free tier**. ## Recommended Models For best performance, we recommend using: - **OpenAI**: o3-mini - **Anthropic**: Claude 3.7 - **Google**: Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking (Free tier available) These models provide a good balance of performance, speed, and cost for most use cases. ## Configuration Schema Below is the configuration schema for all supported AI providers: | Field | Type | Required | Description | | ------------------ | ------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `ai-provider` | string | No | AI provider to use. Options: `openai`, `anthropic`, `bedrock`, `gemini`, `anthropic-vertexai`. Defaults to `openai` | | `ai-endpoint` | string | No | Custom OpenAI-compatible API endpoint URL | | `ai-api-key` | string | No | AI API token for authentication | | `bedrock-region` | string | No | AWS region for Amazon Bedrock | | `vertexai-region` | string | No | Google Cloud region for Vertex AI | | `vertexai-project` | string | No | Google Cloud project ID for Vertex AI | | `ai-model` | string | No | AI model to use (provider-specific) | | `ai-max-tokens` | integer | No | Maximum tokens to use in the response (0 = provider default) | | `ai-temperature` | float | No | Temperature for AI responses (-1.0 = provider default) | | `ai-reasoning` | boolean | No | Enable reasoning mode for supported models (default: true) | ## Example First specify `OPENAI_API_KEY` in the [environment](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/5112595-best-practices-for-api-key-safety). You can get OpenAI API Key on [OpenAI Platform](https://platform.openai.com/api-keys). ```bash export OPENAI_API_KEY='yourkey' ``` ```bash ./gateway discover \ --ai-provider openai \ --connection-string "postgresql://my_user:my_pass@localhost:5432/mydb" ``` ## Additional Configuration Options You can further customize the AI behavior with these optional parameters: ```bash ./gateway discover \ --ai-provider openai \ --ai-api-key your-openai-api-key \ --ai-model o3-mini \ --ai-max-tokens 8192 \ --ai-temperature 1.0 \ --ai-reasoning=true \ --connection-string "postgresql://my_user:my_pass@localhost:5432/mydb" ```
