We believe AI should be personal and customizable. That's why we've made it easy to switch AI models and even add your own model to Surf. Once a model is added, you can use it across all Surf features, including Chat, Inline Vision and Smart Notes.

Switching Models


Surf's interface allows you to easily switch between models on the fly and use the one that best fits your needs. Just select it in the chat or mention it with @ in the Smart Notes editor.

Configuring the Built-In Models

Anthropic’s models run from Deta’s AWS account, while OpenAI’s run from Deta’s Azure account. You can bring your own API key and skip our AI proxy entirely by going to Preferences → AI and then selecting one of the built-in providers under “Configure your AI Models”.

Read OpenAI’s help page or Anthropic’s documentation on where to find your API keys.
