nforum hands Mike a third AI engine: OpenAI

OpenAI now sits alongside Claude and Gemini as a pickable model provider in nforum's fork.

integrationinfrastructure

nforum's fork already let users choose between Anthropic's Claude and Google's Gemini. This thread adds OpenAI as a third option, with each user supplying their own key - the OpenAI choices only light up once a key is on file. The setup mirrors what was already there rather than rewiring it: a heavyweight model handles the main work, while a smaller, cheaper one takes lighter jobs like tabular review and generating titles.

The practical upshot is choice. Firms that have already standardised on a particular vendor - for procurement, data-handling, or pricing reasons - can now point Mike at the engine they're contracted with, instead of being locked to one.

So what Worth a look for any legal team that wants to run Mike on the AI vendor they've already vetted, rather than the one the tool happens to ship with.

Spotted something wrong? Or know the PR text has fresher detail than the writeup above?
