Connect an OpenAI-compatible service (Kimi, GLM, Ollama…)

Any service that speaks the "OpenAI format" works: Moonshot (Kimi), Qwen, Zhipu GLM, and Ollama running on this computer. Agents Workshop requires a model that can see images, so pick a vision / VL model.

OpenAI itself, Anthropic and Alibaba Cloud Model Studio each have their own card (which also explains subscription sign-in and plans) — no need to use this one for them.

What you need

  • An account with that provider and an API key from its console;
  • The "base URL" from its docs (usually ends in /v1).

Consoles of the common ones:

Steps

  1. Create an API key in the provider's console.
  2. Find the base URL in its docs (usually ending in /v1).
  3. In Agents Workshop, click "Add API key" on the "OpenAI compatible (custom)" card. The presets at the top of the form (Moonshot / Kimi, Qwen, Zhipu GLM, local Ollama) fill in the URL and a vision-capable model in one click.
  4. Fill in URL, model name and key; click "Fetch model list" if you don't know the model name.
  5. Save, then click "Test" — three ticks: reachable / text replies / reads images.

Local Ollama needs no key, but Ollama must be installed on this computer with that model pulled.

FAQ

  • The test says it can't read images: switch to a vision-capable model and test again.
  • Prices: models in the built-in price list are filled in automatically; others can be typed by hand, and prices marked "manual" are never overwritten by a refresh.
  • The API key only goes into this computer's encrypted store: never through AI, never into logs.
