Bring Your Own Keys
AI‑Flow Cloud works out of the box, but you can plug in your own API keys whenever you want tighter cost control or vendor‑side billing. Every model node accepts its native key.

| Replicate and sub‑nodes (FLUX, Veo3, …) | Replicate API key |
| Stability AI and sub‑nodes | Stability AI API key |
| DeepSeek | DeepSeek API key |
| Gemini | Google Gemini API key |
| Claude | Anthropic API key |
| Grok Video, Grok Image | XAI API key |
