# Which AI providers and writing models can I use?

Match a model family to a direct connection or find it through OpenRouter.

You can write with a model **included with your plan**, or connect a supported provider account. In **Settings → Integrations**, the direct writing connections under **Other AI providers** are:

-   **OpenAI:** GPT writing models.
    
-   **Claude (Anthropic):** Claude writing models, such as Sonnet, Haiku, or Opus when offered.
    
-   **Gemini (Google):** Gemini writing models, including Flash or Pro options when offered.
    
-   **DeepSeek:** DeepSeek chat and reasoning models.
    
-   **MiniMax:** MiniMax M-series writing models.
    
-   **Kimi (Moonshot AI):** Kimi writing models.
    

**OpenRouter** is a separate option. It lets you use one OpenRouter account for writing models from multiple companies. Depending on the current list, examples include Qwen, Grok, Llama, Mistral, Claude, and Gemini. A direct subscription or key with another provider is not an OpenRouter key.

To see the exact model versions your team can use, a Blog Site owner or admin can open the connected provider’s card. **Writing model and billing → Included with your plan** lists the current options that work without your key. In the editor, writers see the models available to them for that action. [Provider setup guide](https://help.pixelclaw.ai/en/articles/5-connect-your-ai-provider-and-choose-a-writing-model.md).
