FormatWhere to set it up
OpenAI Chat, OpenAI ResponsesThe extra-openai-models.yaml file in llm's configuration directory; set the key with llm keys set <name>

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, POST /v1/responses, then use that ID in the configuration. For agents, also check tool support and the features required by your client version.

extra-openai-models.yaml

- model_id: ailoot-sonnet
  model_name: claude-sonnet-5-5
  api_base: "https://api.ailoot.ai/v1"
  api_key_name: ailoot
  supports_tools: true
  vision: true
- model_id: ailoot-gpt
  model_name: gpt-6.1-sol
  api_base: "https://api.ailoot.ai/v1"
  api_key_name: ailoot
  responses: true
llm keys set ailoot
llm -m ailoot-sonnet 'Hello'

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.
