# Cherry Studio

[Cherry Studio](https://www.cherry-ai.com) is a desktop AI client for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It supports OpenAI-compatible custom providers, so you can connect Cherry Studio to the ScitiX Model Inference API and use ScitiX models from the desktop app.

Supported models include `glm-5.2` and `DeepSeek-V4-Flash`. For model pricing, see the [model catalog](https://console.scitix.ai/model-inference/models).

## Configure

The steps below use **Cherry Studio v1.9.x** as a reference. Newer versions may differ slightly.

1. Open **Settings → Model Provider**, then click **+ Add** at the bottom of the provider list.

2. In the add-provider dialog, set the provider **Name** to `ScitiX` and choose the **OpenAI** type.

3. On the ScitiX provider page, fill in the required fields.

   | Field    | Value                                                                                            |
   | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
   | API Key  | Your API Key created on the [API Keys](https://console.scitix.ai/model-inference/api_keys) page. |
   | API Host | `https://api.scitix.ai/model-api/v1`                                                             |

   Cherry Studio shows a live **Preview** below the API Host field, such as `https://api.scitix.ai/model-api/v1/chat/completions`. This confirms that Cherry Studio appends the remaining path automatically. Do not end the API Host with `#`. A trailing `#` forces Cherry Studio to use the address verbatim without appending `/chat/completions`, which breaks the request.

4. Under **Models**, click **+** or **Fetch model list**, then add the model ID `glm-5.2`.

   Custom providers do not auto-populate models. Add each model ID you want to use.

5. Click the **✓** button next to the API Key field to test connectivity. A **Connection successful** toast confirms that the API Key and API Host work.

6. Turn on the toggle in the top-right corner of the ScitiX provider page.

   The provider's models will not appear in the model selector until this toggle is on.

## Verify

Go back to a conversation, open the model selector at the top, and switch to a ScitiX model shown as **`<model> | ScitiX`**. Send a message. A normal reply confirms that the connection works.

## FAQ

* **Models missing from the selector**: confirm that the provider toggle in the top-right corner of the provider page is on.
* **404 on requests**: check that the API Host does not end with `#`. For normal use, enter `https://api.scitix.ai/model-api/v1`.
* **Cannot fetch the model list**: custom providers require adding model IDs manually. Use **+** under **Models** and enter the ID, such as `glm-5.2`.
* **Assistants / translation features**: set the corresponding default model to a ScitiX model in **Settings → Default Model** so those features also use ScitiX.
* Choose a model with native tool calling if you rely on tool/function features.
