Overview
Manage models is the Manage models tab on Costs (/costs?tab=models) under Monitor. Every connected ClickHouse database is seeded with 16 providers and a large built-in model catalog (90+ models). You can edit any price, add custom providers and models, import/export pricing JSON, and point the Shield360 SDK at a public pricing URL so ingest-time cost tracking stays in sync with the UI.
Those prices power Configuration (Auto Pricing and manual recalculation), Analytics, cost columns in telemetry, OpenGround comparisons, and Otter’s message cost estimates.
Open Monitor → Costs → Manage models. (/manage-models redirects here.) Toolbar actions (Add Provider, SDK Usage, Import, Export) are icon-only with tooltips.

Built-in providers
Section titled “Built-in providers”Out of the box you get: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI, Mistral AI, Groq, Perplexity, Azure OpenAI, Cohere, Together AI, Fireworks AI, DeepSeek, xAI, Hugging Face, Replicate, MiniMax, and OrcaRouter. Model lists change as the catalog is updated - treat Manage models itself as the source of truth for what is installed in your database.
API reference
Section titled “API reference”Authenticated Manage Models APIs and the public SDK export are documented under API Reference → Manage Models. Feature pages link there for request shapes and examples instead of duplicating code samples.
Frequently asked questions
Section titled “Frequently asked questions”How does Shield360 calculate cost from these prices?
It multiplies each span’s input and output token counts by that model’s input and output price per 1M tokens from Manage models.
Can I add a custom or self-hosted model?
Yes. Add a provider if needed, then add a model with your own Model ID and pricing - or bulk-import via Import Pricing JSON.
Does Default vs Custom matter for pricing?
Default means the model was seeded by Shield360; Custom means you added it. Both are fully editable and used the same way for cost tracking.
