    • Custom Model: openai/<MODEL_NAME_FROM_NANOGPT>
      • Example: openai/claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022
      • If a model name contains a slash, include it: e.g. openai/deepseek/deepseek-chat
    • Base URL: https://nano-gpt.com/api/v1 (no trailing slash)
    • API Key: Your key from step 1
    • Search API Key (Tavily): Optional
    • Agent: CodeActAgent (recommended)

​
Important Notes
