Connect any LLM to the free Eclipse IDE
Eclipse is model-agnostic. Connect the AI you already trust — in the cloud or on your own machine — and switch providers whenever you want. No vendor lock-in, no per-seat AI tax.
Supported providers
Add a key and go. The same chat and agents work across every provider.
OpenAI
GPT models through the OpenAI API, including the latest releases. Add your key and start in the AI chat.
Anthropic Claude
Connect Claude models directly. A strong choice for long-context reasoning and tool use.
Azure OpenAI
Use your enterprise Azure OpenAI deployment with your existing governance and billing.
DeepSeek
Cost-efficient models via an OpenAI-compatible endpoint — useful for high-volume work.
Hugging Face
Reach a wide catalogue of open models through the Hugging Face API.
Ollama & local
Run models on your own machine with Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — fully offline.
One workflow, any model
Because Eclipse separates the IDE from the model, you are never tied to one vendor's roadmap or pricing. Configure several providers and pick the right one per task — a fast local model for quick edits, a frontier cloud model for hard problems.
All of it runs through the same open framework, so your agents, prompts and tool integrations carry over when you switch.

Can I switch between LLM providers in Eclipse?
Yes. You can change provider and model in settings without rebuilding your project or changing your workflow. Many teams keep a cloud model and a local model configured side by side.
Do I bring my own API key?
Yes. For cloud providers you add your own API key, which is stored in your local settings. Local models through Ollama need no key.
Can I use more than one provider at once?
Yes. You can configure several providers together and choose one per task — for example a fast local model for quick edits and a frontier cloud model for harder problems.
