Cruq AI does not resell model access. You connect your own provider credential in Model Gateway, and every run - interactive, scheduled, or eval
  • bills to it. That is also why the plans are flat subscriptions rather than credits.

​
Provider kinds

Keys are encrypted at rest and are never returned by the API or shown again after they are stored.

​
Fully-qualified model names

An agent node’s model is written provider/model. The first segment selects the provider connection; everything after it is passed through to that provider verbatim.
That means an OpenRouter model id keeps its own vendor prefix and gains one: anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet becomes openrouter/anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet. Writing it without the openrouter/ prefix is the most common mistake - the first segment would resolve no provider, and the run fails before it starts.
OpenRouter’s floating aliases keep their ~ - for example openrouter/~deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-latest. The ~ is part of the model id, not a typo.

​
Cost and usage

Every run records prompt tokens, completion tokens, total tokens, cost, and duration from the provider’s own usage block. These are nullable: null means the provider reported no usage, which is “not measured” and not “measured as free”. The CLI and API preserve that distinction rather than showing $0. See Observability for where those numbers surface, and Evals for comparing models on them.
