BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)
Overview
Peridot supports Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) for all model providers.
This ensures that your organization maintains full control over model access, credentials, and usage.
Why BYOK Matters
Without BYOK:
Model access is shared
Credentials may be exposed
Usage is harder to audit
Compliance risk increases
With BYOK:
You control all API keys
Usage is tied to your accounts
Access can be restricted and audited
How BYOK Works
API keys are stored in your environment
Peridot uses your credentials for model access
No shared keys are used
