# Models and providers

> Choose a LiteLLM provider and set the credentials NoteWise expects.

NoteWise sends generation requests through LiteLLM. Use a model string like `provider/model-name` with `--model` or `DEFAULT_MODEL`.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"tokyo-night"}}
notewise process "https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID" --model gemini/gemini-2.5-flash
```

The source default is `gemini/gemini-2.5-flash`.

## Model inference

When a model string has no explicit provider prefix, NoteWise can infer common key requirements from model names such as Gemini, GPT/OpenAI, Claude, Groq, Grok/xAI, Mistral, Cohere/Command, and DeepSeek.
