# Bring your own LLM for Context Grounding

> Bring Your Own Model and Bring Your Own Subscription options for Context Grounding in Test Cloud, allowing administrators to replace UiPath-managed embedding and inference models.

Context Grounding supports Bring Your Own Model (BYOM) and Bring Your Own Subscription (BYOS) through the UiPath AI Trust Layer. Administrators can replace UiPath-managed embedding and inference models with their own subscriptions, or connect models not included in the default set, while retaining the governance and audit capabilities of the AI Trust Layer.

## Supported features and models

The following Context Grounding features support custom LLM configuration through any provider whose API follows the OpenAI V1 standard, connected via the [OpenAI V1 Compliant LLM connector](https://docs.uipath.com/integration-service/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/uipath-openai-openaiv1compliant). Each feature has specific model requirements.

| Feature |  Supported models | Recommended model | Requirements | Recommended specs |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Advanced ingestion | Any OpenAI V1-compatible LLM | gemini-2.5-flash | Forced tool calling; multimodal image support | 16k input tokens; 32k output tokens |
| Batch Transform |  Any OpenAI V1-compatible LLM | gemini-2.5-flash (smart), gemini-2.5-flash-lite (fast) | Forced tool calling | 128k input tokens |
| Batch Transform with Web Search |  Any [Gemini web search model](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/google-search#supported_models) | N/A | Gemini web search tool | N/A |
| DeepRAG |  Any OpenAI V1-compatible LLM | gemini-2.5-flash | Forced tool calling; count > 1 support | 1M input tokens; 64k output tokens |
| Embeddings |  Any OpenAI V1-compatible Embedding model | gemini-embedding-001 | < 4,096 dimensions; ≥ 8k input tokens | N/A |

**Requirements** — without this capability, the feature does not function.  
**Recommended** — without this capability, the feature is untested and may perform worse or fail more often.
