Use aicentos in Orca — add an OpenAI-compatible custom endpoint
Last updated:
Orca supports configuring a custom OpenAI-compatible service. Point the Base URL at aicentos and fill in the API Key, and the models aicentos offers become available in Orca.
Prerequisites
First create a dedicated key for Orca on the console's "API Keys" page (naming it orca makes usage easier to track).
- Console: https://aicentos.com
- Create a key: https://aicentos.com/keys
- Top up when the balance runs out: https://aicentos.com/wallet
- Docs site: https://docs.aicentos.com
Configuration to fill in
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Provider type | OpenAI Compatible |
| Base URL | https://aicentos.com/v1 |
| API Key | The key created in the console |
| Model | A model name from the Model Gallery in the console |
Setup steps
- Open Orca's settings page and go to the model / provider configuration area.
- Add a new provider and choose the OpenAI-compatible type (OpenAI Compatible / Custom OpenAI).
- Enter
https://aicentos.com/v1as the Base URL. - Enter the key created in the console as the API Key.
- Enter a model name from the Model Gallery in the console as the Model (see Supported models).
- Save and set it as the default model.
Test
Start a new conversation and send a simple prompt; confirm it returns normally. If the model dropdown is empty, type the Model ID manually instead.
Notes
- The Base URL only goes up to
/v1; do not extend it to the full/v1/chat/completionspath. - If the settings do not take effect right away after saving, restart Orca once.
- If your Orca version only supports the built-in official providers and has no custom Base URL entry, that version cannot connect to third-party endpoints; switch to another client that supports a custom Base URL.
- Common causes of connection failures: a wrong Base URL, leading/trailing spaces in the key, a nonexistent model name, or an insufficient account balance.
