Set K-AI to my own AI provider (e.g. OpenRouter)

Dear KNIME community,

i really like the opportunity that K-AI offers me, especially when it comes to Expressions and Generic E-Charts.

However, as much as I understand the reasoning behind it, limiting this to 20 requests per month makes it basically unusable for me.

Is there a way to allow for something like BYOAI (bring your own AI)? Especially for the KNIME Analytics Platform? I have made very good experiences with OpenRouter for example and have connected a lot of tools to their APIs. One of the big advantages is that they offer a multitude of LLMs for everyone’s need.

The question in this regard of course is where the system message is hosted that goes along with K-AI? Because I would guess, this is what makes K-AI’s responses KNIME specific (instead of generic LLM bullshit 😉 ). If it hosted locally the endpoint that K-AI connects to shouldn’t be a big problem to change, right?

Any feedback on this would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
