Use aicentos in Pi — configure a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint
Last updated:
Pi supports specifying a custom OpenAI-compatible API address. Point the Base URL at aicentos and fill in the API Key, and the models aicentos offers become available in Pi.
Prerequisites
First create a dedicated key for Pi on the console's "API Keys" page (naming it pi 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 | 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 Pi's settings and find the API / model configuration area.
- Choose the custom OpenAI-compatible provider.
- 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 select that model in the session.
Test
Run one simple conversation round and confirm it returns normally. Use /model or the settings page to confirm the current model really comes from aicentos rather than the built-in default provider.
Notes
- The Base URL only goes up to
/v1; do not write the full API path. - If Pi also keeps the built-in provider around, make sure you switch back to the one you created — otherwise requests will not go through aicentos.
- If your Pi version offers no custom Base URL, third-party endpoints cannot be connected; switch to another client that supports a custom Base URL.
- Creating a separate key for this client is recommended, so usage can be told apart per key in the console.
