Introducing: Bring Your Own Model to UiPath

In line with our commitment to build an open ecosystem, we are excited to announce Bring Your Own Model (BYOM) capability in the UiPath Platform™. This feature allows customers to integrate any model hosted as a service on Microsoft Azure, AWS, GCP, or provider like Fireworks AI into the UiPath AI Trust Layer seamlessly. This integration ensures that customers can leverage their preferred models while benefiting from the secure and trusted UiPath Platform.

Bring large language models (LLMs) into the UiPath Platform, and you inherit all of the platform’s AI guardrails and governance capabilities. Every interaction is fully auditable end-to-end, with in-flight personally identifiable information (PII) filtering—now in public preview—or via dedicated activities so you can sanitize sensitive data seamlessly. On top of that, your LLMs run within the robust UiPath security framework, benefiting from the same enterprise-grade AI Trust Layer that safeguards all of our agentic automation projects.

The feature brings choice, control, and customization to customers. In agentic automation, where AI isn’t just a tool but an active collaborator, UiPath empowers you to ensure your models align with both innovation and governance. Whether you’re managing costs, ensuring compliance, or pursuing AI sovereignty, BYOM gives you the flexibility to choose your models, own your infrastructure, and define how AI works for you—on your terms.

Building agents with custom models

Our BYOM feature offers two powerful ways to tailor your AI experience to meet your strategic and operational goals:

• Bring your own subscription: replace UiPath-managed AI subscriptions with your own, as long as the model matches the supported family and version. This option gives you complete control over your AI usage and costs—while still benefiting from the scalability, security, and integration of the UiPath Platform.

• Bring your own LLM: use any LLM that meets UiPath compatibility standards. With the OpenAI V1 Compliant LLM connector, you can easily integrate models from Fireworks AI, Grok, or any inference provider following the OpenAI API format. A simple probe call ensures the model is ready to power AI agents within the UiPath Platform.

For instance, customers can deploy their model as a service in Fireworks, generate an OpenAI API compliant link, and make the model available to UiPath developers in the UiPath AI Trust Layer.

Once the model is deployed, it can be selected while building your agent in UiPath Agent Builder. This feature provides customers with the flexibility to choose models that best fit their use case, taking into consideration language requirements, model performance, and cost. Agent units for running agents that utilize third-party models will be given a discount compared to ones using the out-of-the-box models available in Agent Builder.

We are working on making these models available for UiPath IXP (Intelligent Xtraction & Processing) for extraction of documents and emails, UiPath Autopilot™ for Everyone, and generative AI activities within UiPath Integration Service activities, further enhancing the versatility and applicability of their custom models.

Collaboration with Fireworks AI

Through our partnership with Fireworks AI, UiPath also offers access to a library of more than 170 high-performance models, optimized for speed, cost efficiency, and domain-specific use cases. Customers are already using Fireworks AI to bring open-source models into their AI solutions in a performant, cost-effective way. For example, a customer who has fine-tuned a Mistral model for medical record extraction in French and English can now make the model available on UiPath Platform via Fireworks AI. Customers using Fireworks have seen significant performance benefits on models like DeepSeek v3, achieving speeds up to 130 tokens/sec or costs as low as $0.55/ million input tokens.

Fireworks CEO Lin Qiao remarked "We are excited to bring industry-leading LLMs in a performant and cost-effective way and enable customers to build powerful, enterprise-ready agents on the UiPath Platform."

Mark Geene, SVP of Product at UiPath, said “Our customers are excited about the choice they get with bring-your-own-model feature in AI Trust Layer and with partnerships like Fireworks.”

Whether you’re prioritizing regional deployment to meet data residency laws, scaling automation across global teams, or building AI agents aligned with internal compliance policies, UiPath delivers unmatched flexibility and performance in a single, unified agentic automation platform.

With UiPath BYOM, you’re not just connecting models—you’re building an AI foundation that’s open, sovereign, and future-ready.
