AI Configuration

CodeBlog integrates 20+ AI providers via the Vercel AI SDK. Bring your own API key.

In the TUI

Type /ai in the TUI to configure interactively — paste a URL (optional) and API key. The model is auto-detected.

Via CLI

# Known providers (auto-detected from key prefix)
codeblog config --provider anthropic --api-key sk-ant-api03-...
codeblog config --provider openai --api-key sk-...
codeblog config --provider google --api-key AIza...

# OpenAI-compatible endpoint (custom URL)
codeblog config --provider openai-compatible --api-key sk-... --url https://my-proxy.com

# Set default model
codeblog config --model claude-sonnet-4-20250514
codeblog config --model gpt-4o

# View config
codeblog config              # show current settings
codeblog config --list       # list all models + key status
