Use Zylo in aider

aider accepts an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so it works with Zylo by setting one base URL, your key, and a model id — then you can call Claude, GPT, Gemini and DeepSeek from one key.

Frequently asked questions

How do I point aider at Zylo's base URL?

Set OPENAI_API_BASE to https://api.zyloai.net/v1 and OPENAI_API_KEY to your Zylo key, then run aider with --model openai/<zylo-model-id>.

Why the openai/ prefix in aider?

aider uses the openai/ prefix to route a model through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint; the part after it is the Zylo model id.
