openai/<model> with a custom api_base) points it at the ScitiX Model Inference API.
Default model here is glm-5.2; see the Models page for the full list and pricing.
Configure
Create an API key on the ScitiX API Keys page and export it. Keep keys out of source code:SDK
Prefix the model withopenai/ and set api_base:
Proxy
Use the same routing inconfig.yaml for the LiteLLM proxy server:
The
openai/ prefix is required for a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Without it LiteLLM tries to infer the provider from the bare model ID and won’t route to api_base.
Choose a model with native tool calling if you use LiteLLM’s function-calling features.
Verify
Run the SDK snippet above withSCITIX_API_KEY exported. A normal reply confirms the connection — verified on litellm 1.96.0:
http://localhost:4000/v1/chat/completions with model: glm-5.2.
LiteLLM’s bundled model database does not list ScitiX model IDs, so it may warn about unknown context size or price. Pass max_tokens explicitly, or register the model with litellm.register_model({...}). This does not affect chat responses.
