Bring Your Own AI (BYOK) Explained

In brief

Bring Your Own AI means connecting an organisation’s own API keys and provider accounts to a platform. Syvorex orchestrates the workflow while the organisation retains its provider contract, model choice and provider billing.

The core idea

BYOK reduces vendor lock-in and makes existing enterprise agreements usable. It is particularly useful for agencies and teams coordinating multiple clients, models or privacy requirements.

How it works

The AI Provider Center stores the connection securely and separates credentials from content. Real BYOK requests use reduced Syvorex platform credits; provider charges use the customer provider account.

In practice

  • Select a provider
  • Connect the API key securely
  • Verify model and execution mode

What organisations should consider

BYOK shifts responsibility. Organisations must actively manage key rotation, provider limits, data processing and provider-side costs.

Responsibility and boundaries

Yes. The credential mode actually used is resolved server-side for each execution to prevent spoofed discounts and duplicate charges.

FAQ

Is BYOK unlimited on Business?

No. Business also uses reduced Syvorex platform credits for real BYOK requests, plus provider limits and charges.

Can a workspace switch between BYOK and managed AI?

Yes. The credential mode actually used is resolved server-side for each execution to prevent spoofed discounts and duplicate charges.
