Cloud Providers

This page covers setup for all cloud-based providers: Anthropic, OpenAI, Kimi, GLM, MiniMax, and OpenRouter.

Anthropic

Models: Claude Haiku 4.5, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Sonnet 4.6 (1M context), Claude Opus 4.6, Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context)

1. Get an API key from console.anthropic.com.
2. Run longeragent init and select Anthropic (Claude).
3. Paste your API key when prompted.

The key is stored as ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in ~/.longeragent/.env.

1M Context Beta

The 1M context variants of Sonnet 4.6 and Opus 4.6 appear as separate model options during init. These use Anthropic's extended context beta and allow up to 1,000,000 tokens of context.

Thinking levels: off, low, medium, high, max (Claude 4.6); off, low, medium, high (Claude 4.5 and earlier).

OpenAI

Models: GPT-5.2, GPT-5.2 Codex, GPT-5.3 Codex, GPT-5.4

1. Get an API key from platform.openai.com.
2. Run longeragent init and select OpenAI.
3. Paste your API key when prompted.

The key is stored as OPENAI_API_KEY in ~/.longeragent/.env.

Alternatively, you can use your ChatGPT account via OAuth instead of an API key. See ChatGPT OAuth Login.

Thinking levels: none, low, medium, high, xhigh.

Kimi / Moonshot

Models: Kimi K2.5, Kimi K2 Instruct

Kimi is available through three endpoints. LongerAgent stores Kimi credentials in its own managed slots inside ~/.longeragent/.env and can import external env vars during init or /model.

Variant	Endpoint	LongerAgent Slot	Detected External Env
Kimi-Global	api.moonshot.ai	LONGERAGENT_KIMI_API_KEY	MOONSHOT_API_KEY, KIMI_API_KEY
Kimi-China	api.moonshot.cn	LONGERAGENT_KIMI_CN_API_KEY	MOONSHOT_API_KEY, KIMI_CN_API_KEY
Kimi-Code	api.kimi.com/coding/v1	LONGERAGENT_KIMI_CODE_API_KEY	KIMI_CODE_API_KEY

WARNING

The Kimi-Code endpoint (api.kimi.com/coding/v1) is currently restricted by Moonshot to whitelisted agents. You may receive a 403 Kimi For Coding is currently only available for Coding Agents error. Use kimi or kimi-cn (standard API) instead.

1. Get an API key from Moonshot's developer portal.
2. Run longeragent init and select Moonshot (Kimi), then pick your preferred variant.
3. Import a detected env var or paste your API key. LongerAgent saves it into the matching managed slot.

Thinking levels: off, on.

GLM / Zhipu

Models: GLM-5, GLM-4.7

GLM is available through four endpoints. LongerAgent stores GLM credentials in managed endpoint-specific slots and only uses external env vars as import candidates.

Variant	Endpoint	LongerAgent Slot	Detected External Env
GLM-China	open.bigmodel.cn	LONGERAGENT_GLM_API_KEY	GLM_API_KEY
GLM-Global	api.z.ai	LONGERAGENT_GLM_INTL_API_KEY	GLM_INTL_API_KEY
GLM-China-Code	open.bigmodel.cn/api/coding	LONGERAGENT_GLM_CODE_API_KEY	GLM_CODE_API_KEY
GLM-Global-Code	api.z.ai/api/coding	LONGERAGENT_GLM_INTL_CODE_API_KEY	GLM_INTL_CODE_API_KEY

1. Get an API key from Zhipu's developer portal.
2. Run longeragent init and select z.ai (GLM/Zhipu), then pick your preferred variant.
3. Import a detected env var or paste your API key. LongerAgent saves it into the matching managed slot.

Thinking levels: off, on.

MiniMax

Models: MiniMax M2.1, MiniMax M2.5

MiniMax is available through two endpoints. LongerAgent stores MiniMax credentials in managed endpoint-specific slots and can import detected external env vars during setup.

Variant	Endpoint	LongerAgent Slot	Detected External Env
MiniMax-Global	api.minimax.io	LONGERAGENT_MINIMAX_API_KEY	MINIMAX_API_KEY
MiniMax-China	api.minimaxi.com	LONGERAGENT_MINIMAX_CN_API_KEY	MINIMAX_CN_API_KEY

1. Get an API key from MiniMax's developer portal.
2. Run longeragent init and select MiniMax, then pick your preferred variant.
3. Import a detected env var or paste your API key. LongerAgent saves it into the matching managed slot.

Thinking levels: always on (not configurable).

OpenRouter

Models: Curated presets for Claude (Haiku 4.5, Sonnet 4.6, Opus 4.6), GPT (5.2, 5.2 Codex, 5.3 Codex, 5.4), Kimi K2.5, MiniMax M2.1/M2.5, GLM-5/GLM-4.7, plus any custom model.

OpenRouter acts as a unified API gateway to multiple model providers.

1. Get an API key from openrouter.ai.
2. Run longeragent init and select OpenRouter.
3. Paste your API key.
4. Pick from the curated model presets.

The key is stored as OPENROUTER_API_KEY in ~/.longeragent/.env.

INFO

Web search is disabled by default on OpenRouter (it is a paid add-on). You can explicitly enable it per model if your OpenRouter plan supports it.
