Choose OpenAI Compatible. Enter the base URL, API key and exact Model ID in the settings fields below.
Use the exact API Model ID for your chosen model. Check its context and capabilities before enabling agent or vision features.
Keep API keys in your server environment or tool credential store. Replace the example key field with your own key where applicable.
API Provider: OpenAI Compatible
Base URL: https://api.iteracompute.com/v1
API Key: YOUR_ITERACOMPUTE_API_KEY
Model ID: qwen/qwen3.8-27b
Context window: 32768
Supports images: Yes# Bash / zsh / WSL; set ITERACOMPUTE_API_KEY in your environment first.
curl https://api.iteracompute.com/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $ITERACOMPUTE_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"qwen/qwen3.8-27b","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hi"}],"max_tokens":64}'This sends one short request capped at 64 output tokens. Reasoning models may use that budget before returning visible text; increase it if needed. This checks API connectivity, then send a prompt in your tool to check its configuration.
These are API capabilities of the selected model. Feature availability in your workflow also depends on the tool and its settings; reasoning controls vary by model.
Check the key, account balance and model permissions. Restart the tool after changing environment variables.
Use the exact Model ID and keep /v1 in the base URL. Select Chat Completions when the tool offers a Responses API option.
Match context, image support, tool calls and reasoning parameters to the selected model. Aider may need explicit model metadata or edit-format settings for an unfamiliar model.
Reduce concurrency or retry with backoff. For predictable production capacity, explore Reserved Inference.
Connect your key, choose a model and send your first request.
