When does this happen?
IF Users need to connect to multiple OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible providers (e.g., OpenRouter, Together AI) or run multiple instances of the same provider for different environments/teams, but the current architecture enforces a one-to-one relationship between provider type and instance.
How others solved it
THEN Introduce a CustomProvider implementation that assigns a unique provider ID to each instance, includes provider type specification (OpenAI/Anthropic), and allows instance-specific configuration (custom base URLs, API keys). This maintains backward compatibility by using the unique ID as the provider key, thereby breaking the one-to-one constraint while preserving database uniqueness constraints.
// Example conceptual config: custom provider instances with unique IDs
{
"providers": [
{
"id": "custom-openai-1",

},
{
