Submergent does not sell you model access and does not resell anyone else's. You connect provider accounts you already pay for, and what you send goes from your Mac straight to that provider under their terms.
copilotcodexThe only provider with two ways in. An API key you paste is stored for Codex alone and kept apart from your own Codex CLI configuration.
cursor-agentclaudeopencodepilocalEntirely local. Submergent looks for Ollama on localhost:11434 and lists whatever models you have. No account, no key, nothing sent off your machine.
Submergent does not run a provider's sign-in flow inside the app. When you connect a command-line provider, Submergent records that it may reuse the login that tool already has — if it is not logged in, Submergent tells you which command to run in your terminal.
Provider and model are per session and can change while a conversation is running; the context carries over. The permission you pick applies from your next message onward, not to a turn already in flight.
Model lists come from the provider itself, so what you see in Submergent is what your account can reach. Features that depend on the provider — how it reports tool activity, how it asks for permission — differ between them, and Submergent surfaces whatever that provider gives it rather than pretending they are uniform.
