+### Advanced Configuration
+
+*   **Model IDs (Filter)**:
+    *   *Default (Empty)*: Auto-detects all available models from the provider.
+    *   *Set*: Acts as an **Allowlist**. Only the specific model IDs you enter here will be visible to users. Use this to hide older or expensive models.
+    
+    :::tip OpenRouter Recommendation
+    When using **OpenRouter**, we **highly recommend** using this allowlist (adding specific Model IDs). OpenRouter exposes thousands of models, which can clutter your model selector and slow down the admin panel if not filtered.
+    :::
+    
+*   **Prefix ID**:
+    *   If you connect multiple providers that have models with the same name (e.g., two providers both offering `llama3`), add a prefix here (e.g., `groq/`) to distinguish them. The model will appear as `groq/llama3`.
