Getting oriented
Models and pricing
Understand managed cloud credits, local models, and external provider keys.
Three ways to run models
Kashira Cloud uses Kashira credits. External providers let you use a supported provider account. Local models let you work with a compatible engine on your computer.
Kashira Cloud
Curated models, simple billing, and no provider setup.
External providers
Use your own supported provider account.
Local engine
Work with compatible models running on your machine.
Cloud credits
Cloud usage is displayed as credits rather than raw token totals. The usage indicator shows the remaining share of the current allowance and opens a detailed breakdown when selected.
Model availability
The available cloud model selection can evolve over time. Kashira keeps active work stable while bringing new model choices to Model settings.
