Custom / OpenAI-compatible with Empryo

Empryo has no separate "custom" key to set — you define one or more providers in config, then store each one's key by its id. There is no plugin and no code.

1. Add the provider to config

Edit ~/.empryo/config.json (global, applies everywhere) or .empryo/config.json in a repo (project scope wins on matching id):

{
  "providers": [
    {
      "id": "together",
      "name": "Together AI",
      "baseURL": "https://api.together.xyz/v1",
      "envVar": "TOGETHER_API_KEY",
      "models": ["meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-Turbo"]
    }
  ]
}

2. Store the key and select a model

empryo --set-key together <your-key>
empryo --model together/meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-Turbo

--set-key together writes to your OS keychain (Login Keychain on macOS, libsecret on Linux, DPAPI on Windows), keyed off the provider id. You can also pass it per-launch with the env var and persist nothing: TOGETHER_API_KEY=... empryo.

3. Local server (no key)

Drop envVar entirely for a server with no auth:

{
  "providers": [{
    "id": "local",
    "name": "Local LLM",
    "baseURL": "http://localhost:8080/v1",
    "models": ["llama-3.3-70b"]
  }]
}

(Ollama at localhost:11434 and LM Studio at localhost:1234 are already auto-detected as built-ins — only use a custom block to point at vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp, or a non-default port.)

4. Dynamic model lists and gateways

For a corporate gateway, let Empryo pull the catalog instead of hardcoding it:

{
  "providers": [{
    "id": "corp",
    "name": "Corp Gateway",
    "baseURL": "https://llm.internal.corp.com/v1",
    "envVar": "CORP_LLM_KEY",
    "modelsAPI": "https://llm.internal.corp.com/v1/models"
  }]
}

5. Reasoning models

Add a reasoning block in the style your endpoint accepts — fields are injected into every request body:

{
  "id": "dashscope",
  "baseURL": "https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1",
  "envVar": "DASHSCOPE_API_KEY",
  "models": ["qwen-plus"],
  "reasoning": { "enabled": true, "budget": 8192 }
}

• OpenAI-style: effort: "low" | "medium" | "high" | "xhigh" | "none"
• DashScope-style: enabled: true, budget: 8192 (Qwen/Alibaba)
• Raw: extraParams: { ... } forwarded verbatim, overriding other keys on collision

Notes

• If your id collides with a built-in (e.g. anthropic), Empryo renames it {id}-custom rather than replacing the built-in. Custom providers always show [custom] in /keys and --list-providers.
• Verify with empryo --list-providers and empryo --list-models together.
• Inside the TUI, press Ctrl+L to switch models and /router to assign your custom model to specific task slots.
