Providers at a glance

CCR + OpenRouter is not yet available during the alpha period. Claude and Codex are the two supported providers.
Whim runs providers natively inside task containers. During alpha, Claude and Codex are available today. CCR + OpenRouter is wired up in the product and listed below as upcoming.

CCR + OpenRouter

Coming soon. CCR + OpenRouter is currently disabled during alpha, so it is not selectable for workspaces or tasks.
CCR routes models through OpenRouter, a multi-model API gateway. It will offer the widest model range with zero configuration once it launches. Best for: trying different model vendors, using non-Claude/non-GPT models, getting started without managing provider auth. How it works: Whim manages the OpenRouter connection. API token costs are tracked as CU alongside container runtime. When CCR launches, you’ll be able to pick any supported model when creating a task or set a workspace default.

Claude Subscription

Use your Anthropic subscription to run the native Claude Code CLI. Token costs go through your subscription and Whim only charges CU for container time. Best for: the primary Whim experience during alpha, native Claude Code behavior, and maximum capability with Opus 4.6.

Codex Subscription

Use your ChatGPT account to run the native Codex CLI. Token costs go through your OpenAI subscription and Whim only charges CU for container time. Best for: existing OpenAI subscribers, GPT 5.5, and Codex-tuned GPT models.

Choosing a provider

Claude Subscription or Codex Subscription - you only pay CU for container runtime. Token costs go through your existing subscription.
Codex Subscription - native GPT 5.x support, including GPT 5.5 and Codex-tuned GPT models.
CCR + OpenRouter - coming soon. This is where Google, xAI, DeepSeek, MiniMax, Qwen, and Moonshot models will land.

Setting your default model

Defaults determine which model runs when you create new tasks:
  • Workspace default - applies to all members. Set by admins in Settings > Workspace > Defaults.
  • User default - overrides workspace default. Set in Settings > My Defaults.
Each supported provider stores its own default model. When you switch between supported providers, the model switches to that provider’s saved default unless you’ve set a specific override.
CCR + OpenRouter will use the same default-model flow when it launches, but it is not currently selectable during alpha.

Per-task override

Override the default model when creating any task by selecting a different model in the composer toolbar. The override only affects that task.
Use per-task overrides for a more capable model on complex work, or a lighter model for simple tasks.

CU cost by provider

During alpha, the supported providers are Claude Subscription and Codex Subscription, so CU covers container runtime only (1 CU per 30 minutes). Token costs go through your subscription.
CCR + OpenRouter is coming soon. When it launches, CU will have two components: container runtime and API tokens, with token cost varying by model.

Model selection tips

Claude Opus 4.6 (1M) and GPT 5.5 are the current defaults. Switch if you need more speed, lower cost, or a smaller context window.
Claude Opus 4.6, Claude Opus 4.6 (1M), and GPT 5.5 for deep reasoning - complex debugging, large refactors, architectural decisions.
Claude Haiku 4.5 and GPT 5.1 Codex Mini for simple edits, boilerplate, and quick fixes. Gemini 3 Flash and Gemini 2.5 Flash join this lane when CCR launches.
Claude Opus 4.6 (1M) or Claude Sonnet 4.5 (1M) when the agent needs to reason across many files simultaneously.
