How do I configure AI chat?

Model Selection

Open Settings → AI to choose your model tier (@code, @balanced, @smart). The model selector is also available in the chat input bar.

Custom LLM Providers

Go to Settings → Providers to add and switch between custom LLM providers (Z.AI, MiniMax, DeepSeek, Ollama, etc.). When a custom provider is active:

  • The chat UI shows a provider badge (e.g., Z.AI • glm-5) instead of the model selector
  • Chat completions route through your chosen provider
  • Search, vision, and CDN continue using SDKRouter

Supported presets include Z.AI, MiniMax, Kimi K2, DeepSeek, Xiaomi MiMo, OpenRouter, Ollama, and LM Studio — or add any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
