What BYOK means
BYOK means bring your own API key. In Asterion, that means a subscriber can connect supported provider accounts directly and let the provider bill them for those jobs.

Bring your own keys. Keep control of the workflow.
Asterion is subscription software for professional post-production workflows inside Adobe. BYOK gives subscribers the option to connect supported provider accounts directly, while Asterion Managed Credits can provide a simpler one-wallet generation path when available.

Subscription software
Asterion is not trying to sell cheap AI credits. The subscription pays for the professional workflow layer: model choice, prompting, previewing, output libraries, import paths, local tools, updates, and eventually deeper Assistant workflows.
Managed Credits
For users who want simplicity, Asterion Managed Credits can provide a one-wallet generation experience. For professionals who already have provider accounts, BYOK keeps usage, rate limits, provider terms, and billing under their control.
Supported model routes
Asterion Generate focuses on curated fal.ai and Atlas Cloud routes such as Seedance, Kling, Wan, LTX, Hailuo, Vidu, Seedream, Imagen, Flux, and Qwen, with Kokoro for local scratch voice and ElevenLabs for cloud voice, cloning, and sync workflows.
Provider expansion
BYOK only matters if the provider list keeps growing. After the current fal.ai, Atlas Cloud, Kokoro, and ElevenLabs paths, the roadmap should evaluate direct Runway, Google Veo, OpenAI Sora, Luma, MiniMax, and Cartesia integrations as soon as auth, upload handling, pricing, and adapter smoke tests are clear.
Why we chose it
The principle is simple: choose the model, see the cost, generate inside Adobe.
Lower lock-in
Teams can choose providers based on quality, privacy, cost, or existing accounts.
Subscriber updates
Product updates, beta access, launch notes, and subscriber communications will be maintained through the Veda backend and Resend.
Best for power users and teams
BYOK fits editors, agencies, and post teams that already manage software, subscriptions, and production budgets carefully.
// FAQ
Questions editors usually ask first.
Does BYOK make setup harder?
It adds one setup step, but it gives serious subscribers more control over cost, rate limits, provider terms, and billing.
Which providers matter first?
The launch path centers on curated fal.ai and Atlas Cloud model routes, local Kokoro voice, and ElevenLabs cloud voice and sync workflows. Additional direct provider integrations should be added only after they are wired and tested.
Is Asterion a subscription?
Yes. Asterion is subscription software for the product and workflow layer. Managed Credits are optional for supported cloud generation jobs.
What are Asterion Managed Credits?
Managed Credits are the simpler one-wallet option for users who want Asterion to handle supported provider billing when that path is available.
Can teams use shared accounts?
Team account handling depends on the provider and the final Asterion account model.
