Using JanitorAI with NanoGPT

A quick guide to connecting JanitorAI chats to NanoGPT’s API.

Setup Instructions

  1. Get your API key from nano-gpt.com/api
  2. In JanitorAI, open API Settings
  3. Select Proxy as the provider
  4. Click + Add under Proxy Configurations
  5. Configure the proxy with the following values:
    Configuration Name: any label, e.g. NanoGPT
    Model Name: Model ID, e.g. zai-org/glm-5.1
    Proxy URL: https://nano-gpt.com/api/v1/chat/completions
    API Key: <your NanoGPT API key>
    
  6. Click Apply, then make sure the NanoGPT proxy configuration is marked Active
JanitorAI now routes your conversations through NanoGPT.

Available Models

Model IDs can be found on the NanoGPT pricing page.

Include Reasoning

If you want JanitorAI to include reasoning output for reasoning-capable models, duplicate the configuration above and change the proxy URL to:
https://nano-gpt.com/api/v1thinking/chat/completions

Troubleshooting

If JanitorAI shows a PROXY ERROR like this:
JanitorAI proxy error saying no response from bot
The most common causes are:
  • You used a paid model that is not included in your subscription and your NanoGPT account has no balance.
  • The proxy configuration is wrong. Re-check that Proxy URL is https://nano-gpt.com/api/v1/chat/completions or https://nano-gpt.com/api/v1thinking/chat/completions, and that your API key has no extra spaces.
