Supported Providers¶

Lumiverse supports 19 AI providers out of the box. Each provider has its own model catalog, API format, and capabilities.

Provider List¶

Custom Base URLs & Reverse Proxies¶

Every provider in Lumiverse lets you override the default API URL on each connection. This means any provider type can be pointed at a reverse proxy, load balancer, or alternative endpoint — not just the Custom provider.

For example, you could create an OpenAI connection but set its API URL to your proxy at https://my-proxy.example.com/v1. Lumiverse uses OpenAI's API format for the request but sends it to your custom URL.

This is useful for:

• Reverse proxies — Route requests through a proxy for logging, rate limiting, or cost tracking
• Regional endpoints — Use a provider's regional API endpoint instead of the default
• Self-hosted mirrors — Point to your own deployment of an API-compatible service

Using the Custom Provider¶

The Custom provider is for services that aren't covered by the built-in providers but implement the OpenAI-compatible API format. This includes:

• Local models — LM Studio, Ollama, text-generation-webui, KoboldCpp
• Other services — Any endpoint with an OpenAI-compatible chat completions API

To use a custom provider:

1. Create a connection with provider set to Custom
2. Enter the API URL (e.g., http://localhost:5000/v1 for a local model)
3. Enter the Model name as the server expects it
4. Add an API Key if the server requires one

OpenRouter¶

OpenRouter is a popular choice because it gives you access to hundreds of models from many providers through a single API key:

1. Get an API key from openrouter.ai
2. Create a connection with provider set to OpenRouter
3. Set your API key
4. Use the Models button to browse available models

Provider Capabilities¶

Not all providers support all features:

Structured Output¶

Different providers handle structured output differently:

• Google Gemini — Pass responseMimeType and responseSchema in parameters
• OpenAI-compatible — Pass response_format in parameters
• Anthropic — Use tool definitions for structured output
