AI providers
Open Settings → AI Providers to configure the providers listed below. Their models then appear in the model selector in the chat composer.
Built-in providers
Section titled “Built-in providers”| Provider | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Kora | Managed | Flash through https://api.kora-ai.download/v1; requires a valid Kora Cloud key. |
| ChatGPT Plus/Pro | OAuth | Use your existing OpenAI subscription directly. No API key needed. |
| ByteDance ModelArk | BYOK (bytedance) |
Two modes: standard (Seed models) and coding-plan (Seed + GLM, DeepSeek, Kimi). |
| OpenCode | CLI | Dynamic discovery via opencode models --verbose. Kora inherits your existing OpenCode config (API key, models, preferences) automatically. |
Custom providers
Section titled “Custom providers”Add an OpenAI-compatible provider from the models.dev catalog, with a manual definition, or by connecting a local inference server. See Custom providers.
| Method | Best for |
|---|---|
| Catalog | Providers in models.dev; Kora fills the base URL, models, and capabilities |
| Manual | Providers not in the catalog, or full control over configuration |
| Local | Ollama, omlx, LM Studio — discovery via GET /v1/models |
Per-model capabilities
Section titled “Per-model capabilities”Each model entry exposes four capability toggles: Tools, Streaming, Vision, Reasoning. Edit them at any time from the provider detail view. Per-model temperature is also configurable — see Per-model temperature.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”- A built-in provider is missing → close and reopen Settings; built-in entries cannot be deleted.
- A configured provider has no models → refresh its catalog or verify the provider credential.
- Kora shows an invalid key → reconnect the key using Connect Kora Cloud.
