FormatWhere to set it up
OpenAI ChatThe ~/.continue/config.yaml file (or Continue's configuration editor): an entry in models[] with provider: openai and apiBase.

Setup

Copy the configuration and replace sk-... with your key from the Ailoot Dashboard. Prefer storing the key in the environment variable AILOOT_API_KEY, if the application supports it.

Before starting, request GET /v1/models with your Ailoot key. Choose an exact model ID whose methods include POST /v1/chat/completions, then use that ID in the configuration. For agents, also check tool support and the features required by your client version.

name: Ailoot
version: 0.0.1
schema: v1
models:
  - name: Ailoot Claude Sonnet 5.5
    provider: openai
    model: claude-sonnet-5-5
    apiBase: https://api.ailoot.ai/v1
    apiKey: sk-...
  - name: Ailoot GPT-6.1 Sol
    provider: openai
    model: gpt-6.1-sol
    apiBase: https://api.ailoot.ai/v1
    apiKey: sk-...
    # useResponsesApi: false   # only if you need to force requests to /chat/completions

Example model: claude-sonnet-5-5. Choose any other model from the catalog — check that it supports the format you need.

Good to know

Test

  • For the OpenAI format, the URL is https://api.ailoot.ai/v1 (or the full path if the application asks for a full URL).
  • Ask a short question. If you get an error, check the code and Request ID, then consult Errors and limits.
  • 404 immediately after setup almost always means the URL is wrong: an extra or missing /v1.
  • 402 — insufficient balance for the reserve. Agents reserve more than chat: why.
