 ## Overview
 
-Use `modelProviders` to declare models per auth type that the `/model` picker can switch between. Keys must be valid auth types (`openai`, `anthropic`, `gemini`, etc.). Each auth type maps to a `ProviderConfig` object with a `protocol` field and a `models` field (the array of model definitions). Each entry in `models` requires an `id`; `envKey` is **optional and recommended** (when omitted, it falls back to the auth type's default env key, e.g. `OPENAI_API_KEY` for `openai`), with optional `name`, `description`, `baseUrl`, and `generationConfig`. Credentials are never persisted in settings; the runtime reads them from `process.env[envKey]`. Qwen OAuth models remain hard-coded and cannot be overridden.
+Use `modelProviders` to declare models per provider id that the `/model` picker can switch between. Each key is a provider id and its value is **an array of model definitions** (`ModelConfig[]`). For built-in providers the key must be a valid auth type (`openai`, `anthropic`, `gemini`, `vertex-ai`); a custom provider id (e.g. `idealab`) is allowed as long as you map it to a protocol via the top-level [`providerProtocol`](#custom-provider-ids-providerprotocol) setting. Each model entry requires an `id`; `envKey` is **optional and recommended** (when omitted, it falls back to the auth type's default env key, e.g. `OPENAI_API_KEY` for `openai`), with optional `name`, `description`, `baseUrl`, and `generationConfig`.

+> Earlier previews wrapped each provider's models in a `{ "protocol": ..., "models": [...] }` object. That shape has been reverted — the current value is the bare `ModelConfig[]` array shown throughout this page. A wrapped entry in an already-migrated (`$version: 4`) settings file is silently skipped, so update any old configs to the array form.

-> If an unknown auth type key is used (e.g., a typo like `"openai-custom"`), a non-empty key is accepted as-is as its own auth-type group, but it will not map to a known protocol — so its models won't work as intended and won't behave correctly in the `/model` picker. Only blank (empty or whitespace-only) keys are skipped. Always use one of the supported auth type values listed above.
+> A provider id that is neither a built-in protocol nor mapped via `providerProtocol` (e.g. a typo like `"openai-custom"`) cannot be routed, so its whole entry is **skipped** with a warning — its models simply won't appear in the `/model` picker. Use one of the supported auth type values above for built-in providers, or add a [`providerProtocol`](#custom-provider-ids-providerprotocol) mapping for a custom id.
+
+### Custom provider ids (`providerProtocol`)
+
+Built-in provider ids (`openai`, `gemini`, `anthropic`, `vertex-ai`, `qwen-oauth`) are routed to their SDK protocol automatically. To use a **custom** provider id — for example to group several OpenAI-compatible endpoints under a friendlier name — declare it under `modelProviders` and map it to a built-in protocol with the top-level `providerProtocol` setting:
+
+```json
+{
+  "modelProviders": {
+    "idealab": [
+      {
+        "id": "my-model",
+        "envKey": "IDEALAB_API_KEY",

+      }
+    ]
+  },
+  "providerProtocol": {
+    "idealab": "openai"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Without a matching `providerProtocol` entry, a custom provider id is skipped (see the warning above).
