Models

By default, your users can use any model supported by Kiro in their client. You have the ability to manage which models your users are allowed to use.

You can manage model access by selecting the list of models that users can access.

Enabling model access management

To opt into managing the models list:

1. Open the Kiro console.
2. Choose Settings.
3. In the Shared settings section, toggle the Control which models are available to users under the Model availability setting.

Adding models to the allow list

To add models to the list of models available in Kiro clients:

1. Select the Manage approved list link in the Model availability setting.
2. A modal dialog will show the list of models that are available to manage including "Auto"
3. Each model will have a name and description.
4. Select the models that you want to make available to the clients.
5. Optionally, set a model as the default model. Selecting a default model, will automatically set the model in the client to the selected default model.
6. Select Save list to save the model list.

Removing models from the allow list

To remove models from the allow list, simply uncheck the models from the allow list of models.

Keep in mind, removing a model that was previously available will not be immediately removed from the client. Clients have to restart their session.

Key considerations

1. If you manage the model allow list, any new model offered by Kiro will not become available to clients unless you add them into the allow list.
2. You will receive a notification in the console when a new model becomes available.
