Otaku Integration

Otaku is a roleplay client for the terminal, available on macOS, Linux, and Windows through WSL. NanoGPT is built in, so your NanoGPT model catalog appears directly in the model picker.

​
Setup

  1. Install Otaku:
    Alternatively, install it with uv tool install otaku.
  2. Run otaku. When the model picker opens, press Tab to move to the provider panel, select NanoGPT, and paste your NanoGPT API key into the API key: field. Otaku verifies the key and lists your NanoGPT model catalog on the left. Your API key is stored encrypted in the configuration file.
  3. Choose a model and start chatting. The prompt shows $ while a cloud model is selected.

​
Useful commands

  • /model (Ctrl+O) reopens the picker to switch models or providers.
  • /balance shows your NanoGPT balance.
  • /context shows exactly what is sent to the model.

​
Manual configuration

To configure Otaku manually, add your API key to the [nanogpt] section of ~/.otaku/configs/providers.toml:
