+# Custom LLM Configurations
+
+OpenHands supports defining multiple named LLM configurations in your `config.toml` file. This feature allows you to use different LLM configurations for different purposes, such as using a cheaper model for tasks that don't require high-quality responses, or using different models with different parameters for specific agents.
+
+## How It Works
+
+Named LLM configurations are defined in the `config.toml` file using sections that start with `llm.`. For example:
+
+```toml
+# Default LLM configuration
+[llm]
+model = "gpt-4"
+api_key = "your-api-key"
+temperature = 0.0
+
+# Custom LLM configuration for a cheaper model
+[llm.gpt3]
+model = "gpt-3.5-turbo"
+api_key = "your-api-key"
+temperature = 0.2
+
+# Another custom configuration with different parameters
+[llm.high-creativity]
+model = "gpt-4"
+api_key = "your-api-key"
+temperature = 0.8
+top_p = 0.9
+```
+
+Each named configuration inherits all settings from the default `[llm]` section and can override any of those settings. You can define as many custom configurations as needed.
+
+## Using Custom Configurations
+
+### With Agents
+
+You can specify which LLM configuration an agent should use by setting the `llm_config` parameter in the agent's configuration section:
+
+```toml
+[agent.RepoExplorerAgent]
+# Use the cheaper GPT-3 configuration for this agent
+llm_config = 'gpt3'
+
+[agent.CodeWriterAgent]
+# Use the high creativity configuration for this agent
+llm_config = 'high-creativity'
+```
+
+### Configuration Options
+
+Each named LLM configuration supports all the same options as the default LLM configuration. These include:
+
+- Model selection (`model`)
+- API configuration (`api_key`, `base_url`, etc.)
+- Model parameters (`temperature`, `top_p`, etc.)
+- Retry settings (`num_retries`, `retry_multiplier`, etc.)
+- Token limits (`max_input_tokens`, `max_output_tokens`)
+- And all other LLM configuration options
+
+For a complete list of available options, see the [LLM Configuration](../configuration-options.md#llm-configuration) section in the Configuration Options documentation.
+
+## Use Cases
+
+Custom LLM configurations are particularly useful in several scenarios:
+
+- **Cost Optimization**: Use cheaper models for tasks that don't require high-quality responses, like repository exploration or simple file operations.
+- **Task-Specific Tuning**: Configure different temperature and top_p values for tasks that require different levels of creativity or determinism.
+- **Different Providers**: Use different LLM providers or API endpoints for different tasks.
+- **Testing and Development**: Easily switch between different model configurations during development and testing.
+
+## Example: Cost Optimization
+
+A practical example of using custom LLM configurations to optimize costs:
+
+```toml
+# Default configuration using GPT-4 for high-quality responses
+[llm]
+model = "gpt-4"
+api_key = "your-api-key"
+temperature = 0.0
+
+# Cheaper configuration for repository exploration
+[llm.repo-explorer]
+model = "gpt-3.5-turbo"
+temperature = 0.2
+
+# Configuration for code generation
+[llm.code-gen]
+model = "gpt-4"
+temperature = 0.0
+max_output_tokens = 2000
+
+[agent.RepoExplorerAgent]
+llm_config = 'repo-explorer'
+
+[agent.CodeWriterAgent]
+llm_config = 'code-gen'
+```
+
+In this example:
+- Repository exploration uses a cheaper model since it mainly involves understanding and navigating code
+- Code generation uses GPT-4 with a higher token limit for generating larger code blocks
+- The default configuration remains available for other tasks
+
+:::note
+Custom LLM configurations are only available when using OpenHands in development mode, via `main.py` or `cli.py`. When running via `docker run`, please use the standard configuration options.
