# Discover Models Preview

`POST /v1/provider-configs/discover-preview`

Discover models from a provider API using the provided API key, without requiring a saved config.

Not a dry run: the discovered specs, prices included, are persisted so the
caller can pick models by id. That makes it a price write.
