The models we support
You bring the model. FluentDB works with Anthropic, OpenAI, and local models through Ollama. Here is exactly what is supported, and what is not.
FluentDB has no model of its own and no account to sign up for. You point it at a provider you already trust, with a key you control, and your prompts go straight there.
That freedom stops at the models we have actually tested. The co-pilot reads your schema, calls tools, runs statements, and reads the results back. Plenty of models cannot do that chain reliably, so we do not list them.
Ollama
Local models, on your own Mac
Run an open-weight model on your own hardware. No API key, nothing metered, and no prompt leaving the machine. One model is supported today, qwen3-coder.

Claude, with your own API key
Bring your own Anthropic key. Your Mac talks to Anthropic directly, so prompts never pass through us and there is no per-seat AI charge on top.
OpenAI
GPT, with your own API key
Bring your own OpenAI key. Same arrangement as Anthropic: a direct connection from your Mac, with no middleman routing your queries.
Apple Foundation
Tested, not shipped
We built it and ran it, because so many of you asked. The on-device model could not write SQL we would be willing to ship, and Apple does not recommend it for this. The full account is below.
Why Apple Foundation models are not here yet
It is the thing people ask us for most, so rather than guess, we built it and ran it against real schemas. The results were not good enough to ship. We wrote up exactly what we hit.
- Apple does not list code generation or logical reasoning as supported uses for the on-device model. We tested it anyway, because you kept asking.
- A 4,096-token session would force us to split the work across parallel context windows, an architecture that looks nothing like every other provider we support.
- The SQL was wrong too often. Dropped quotes on PostgreSQL identifiers, and queries aimed at the wrong table entirely.
- Private Cloud Compute means App Store distribution, a gated program, a daily cap, and very little visibility on what comes next.
