Notes

  • Newer builds use a custom provider registry. If your version shows Settings → Providers → Add custom provider instead of an API Provider dropdown, use Provider ID lyceum, Display Name Lyceum, API Type OpenAI Compatible, and the same Base URL and API Key. Model auto-detection reads our /models endpoint and should populate the full catalog, which is a quick way to confirm the key and URL are both correct.
  • Token limits are never auto-detected. Our /models response carries IDs only, so set limits yourself here or in kilo.jsonc.
