Beta. Model Hub is not released yet. These pages describe the build in progress.

What leaves your machine

Model Hub sends your prompts, and any note text you or a plugin include, only to the providers you add.

Where	When	What is sent
OpenRouter (`openrouter.ai`)	You added OpenRouter and a call uses one of its models	The prompt and included text; requests for its model list and prices
Anthropic (`api.anthropic.com`)	You added Anthropic and a call uses a Claude model directly	The prompt and included text
TypeSafe (`api.typesafe.ai`)	You added TypeSafe and a plugin makes a decision call	The decision's text
Ollama or LM Studio	You added one	The prompt, to the server on your own computer
Another endpoint	You added it	The prompt, to the address you entered
Your OpenTelemetry collector	You turned on Send traces	The role, model, tokens and cost of each call; never your text

Web research sends your question to the provider's web search.

Nothing is sent to the plugin's author. There is no telemetry, no account with us and no ads.

In the note chat, the chip under the header shows whether the open note goes with your question. With a selection, the whole note is sent too.

OpenRouter, Anthropic and TypeSafe bill your account with them for each call. Model Hub is free; the label on its listing is Optional payments because of these services.
Ollama and LM Studio cost nothing per call.
To cap spending, set Per call and Per month on each tier: see Set up tiers and limits. Both are checked before a call is sent.
To see spending, open the usage view: see See what you spent.

What	Where
API keys	Obsidian's keychain. Never in the settings file.
Settings (providers, tiers, roles)	`data.json` in the plugin's folder, inside your vault's configuration folder
The ledger of calls	`ledger.jsonl` in the same folder
Your skills	The vault folder you name under Skills folder

Model Hub reads and writes nothing outside your vault, and runs no other programs.
