+## Configuring a Custom AI Provider {#custom-provider}
+
+By default, Maia uses the Mendix platform's AI service. You can configure Maia to use your own LLM provider instead (also known as bring your own LLM or BYO LLM).

+{{% alert color="info" %}}
+Configuring a custom AI provider is available in Studio Pro 11.12 and above as a beta feature.
+{{% /alert %}}
+

+
+#### Mendix Platform {#mendix-platform}
+
+The Mendix platform AI service is the default, recommended option and requires no configuration. Some Mendix platform optimizations may not be available if you use a custom LLM provider instead.
