# Connect a model

> Ve runs on AI subscriptions you already pay for. Connect one to turn on chat.

Ve does not sell you a model. It uses a subscription you already have.

<Warning>
  Browsing works the moment you finish setup. Chat does not work until a model
  is connected.
</Warning>

## What you can connect

| Provider       | Subscription              |
| -------------- | ------------------------- |
| ChatGPT        | Your ChatGPT subscription |
| Claude         | Claude Pro or Max         |
| Grok           | SuperGrok or X Premium    |
| GitHub Copilot | Your Copilot subscription |
| Kimi           | Kimi Code                 |

## Connecting one

Pick a provider. What happens next depends on which one.

**ChatGPT, Claude and Grok** send you to the provider to sign in and approve
Ve, then bring you back.

**GitHub Copilot and Kimi** show a one-time code instead. Use **Copy code**,
then **Open provider**, sign in, and enter the code there.

Ve never sees your provider password either way. You sign in on the provider's
own site, and it hands Ve a token.

## What it costs

Nothing, on Ve's side. There is no Ve plan, no billing and no credits. You pay
your model provider whatever you already pay them, and nothing changes about
that arrangement.

## Where your prompts go

Connecting a provider means your typed chat messages reach that provider under
your own account, exactly as they would in its own app.

Voice is the exception. A spoken conversation goes through Ve's servers to
carry the audio. See [Chat with Ve](/chat).
