Provider Configuration

Overview

switchAILocal supports multiple AI providers, each with its own configuration format. Providers are organized into:

Cloud Providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Traylinx SwitchAI
Local Providers: Ollama, LM Studio, OpenCode
Compatible Providers: OpenRouter, Groq, Together AI, and others via OpenAI compatibility

array

Model IDs to exclude from discovery

array

Manual model alias definitions

Example with custom models:

ollama:

  auto-discover: true
  excluded-models:
    - "llama2"  # Exclude old llama2
  models:
    - name: "llama3.2:latest"
      alias: "llama"

OpenCode (Local)

Integrate with local OpenCode server:

config.yaml

opencode:

  auto-discover: true

boolean

default:"false"

Enable LM Studio provider registration

string

default:"http://localhost:1234/v1"

LM Studio API endpoint

boolean

default:"true"

Automatically fetch models from LM Studio on startup

OpenAI Compatibility

Configure third-party providers that support OpenAI API format:

config.yaml

openai-compatibility:
  - name: "groq"
    prefix: "groq"
    base-url: "https://api.groq.com/openai/v1"
    api-key-entries:
      - api-key: "gsk_..."
  - name: "openrouter"
    prefix: "or"
    base-url: "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1"
    api-key-entries:
      - api-key: "sk-or-v1-..."

string

required

Provider identifier (used in logs and metrics)

string

required

Provider’s OpenAI-compatible API endpoint

string

Namespace models (e.g., "groq/llama-3.1-70b")

array

List of API keys for this provider

array

Model name mappings and aliases

Supported providers:

Groq: https://api.groq.com/openai/v1
OpenRouter: https://openrouter.ai/api/v1
Together AI: https://api.together.xyz/v1
Fireworks AI: https://api.fireworks.ai/inference/v1
DeepSeek: https://api.deepseek.com/v1
Any OpenAI-compatible service

Vertex AI Compatibility

For third-party services using Vertex AI-style protocols with API key auth:

config.yaml

vertex-api-key:
  - api-key: "vk-..."
    base-url: "https://api.example.com"
    models:
      - name: "gemini-2.0-flash"
        alias: "flash"

string

required

API key for Vertex-compatible service

string

required

Base URL for Vertex-compatible endpoint

array

Model configurations with aliases

Vertex compatibility is for third-party services that mimic Google’s Vertex AI endpoint structure but use simple API key authentication instead of OAuth.

Global Model Exclusions

Exclude models globally for OAuth/file-backed auth entries:

config.yaml

oauth-excluded-models:
  geminicli:
    - "*-preview"
  ollama:
    - "llama2"

object

Map of provider names to excluded model patterns (supports wildcards)

Per-Provider Settings

All cloud providers support these common settings:

Common provider settings

prefix: Namespace models (e.g., team-a/model-name)
proxy-url: Override global proxy for this provider
models-url: Override model discovery endpoint
headers: Add custom HTTP headers
excluded-models: List of model patterns to exclude
models: Manual model name/alias mappings

Model Aliases

Create friendly aliases for model names:

gemini-api-key:
  - api-key: "AIzaSy..."
    models:
      - name: "gemini-2.0-flash-exp"
        alias: "flash"
      - name: "gemini-2.0-pro-exp"
        alias: "pro"

Now requests for flash route to gemini-2.0-flash-exp.

Multiple Credentials

Configure multiple API keys for load balancing and failover:

gemini-api-key:
  - api-key: "AIzaSy...key1"
    prefix: "team-a"
  - api-key: "AIzaSy...key2"
    prefix: "team-b"
  - api-key: "AIzaSy...shared"
    # No prefix - shared across all teams

With routing.strategy: "round-robin", requests are distributed evenly.
