OpenAI-compatible APIs

Any provider that speaks the OpenAI Chat Completions protocol works with ClipSlop. Common targets:

• OpenRouter — single key, hundreds of models from different vendors.
• LM Studio — local model runner with an OpenAI-compatible HTTP server.
• Together, Groq, Fireworks — cloud inference platforms.
• Self-hosted — vLLM, Text Generation Inference, or any server exposing /v1/chat/completions.

Setup

1. Open Settings → Providers → OpenAI-compatible.
2. Set:
   • Base URL — e.g. https://openrouter.ai/api/v1 or http://localhost:1234/v1 for LM Studio.
   • API key (if the endpoint requires one).
   • Model — pick or type the model identifier.
3. Click Test connection.

CLI providers

ClipSlop also supports invoking command-line tools as providers. Useful for:

• claude CLI on a developer Mac.
• gemini CLI.
• Any custom script that takes a prompt on stdin and emits the response on stdout.

Configure the binary path and arguments in Settings → Providers → CLI.
