> Add a custom OpenAI-compatible service in Trae settings, with the aicentos Base URL and your API Key

This document explains how to connect to this service in Trae using a custom OpenAI-compatible configuration. The settings entry points vary between Trae versions, so instead of tying this guide to a single menu path, it describes the key settings you need to find.

## Open the AI / Model settings

In Trae's settings, look for the configuration areas matching these keywords:

* AI
* Models
* Provider
* OpenAI
* Custom

If the current version supports custom OpenAI-compatible connections, it usually provides inputs for the model provider, API Key and Base URL.

## Configuration to fill in

Fill in for this service:

* Base URL: [https://aicentos.com/v1](https://aicentos.com/v1)
* API Key: your codex\_... or sk-... key
* Model ID: follow the results returned by GET /v1/models; if you only want a quick connectivity test, try gpt-6-astra first

## Test

After saving, start a new conversation, editing task or agent task, and confirm Trae can send requests and return content normally.

## Notes

* The value entered here is the OpenAI-compatible Base URL; do not extend it to the full /chat/completions or /responses path
* If your current version only offers the built-in official models, or only accepts an official OpenAI key without letting you change the Base URL, it cannot connect to this gateway directly
* The safest approach is to verify the visible models with GET /v1/models first, then enter the Model ID in Trae
