# Bring Your Own Model

> Connect fine-tuned, self-hosted, and privately deployed models from Azure AI Foundry, Google Vertex AI, or LiteLLM to the AI Gateway.

Use private models alongside public models through the same AI Gateway endpoint. Private models are useful when you have fine-tuned models, dedicated deployments, or self-hosted inference that should remain under your infrastructure and provider contracts.
