Zotero is an open-source reference manager. Zotero itself has no built-in AI, but the community plugin Zotero GPT (Awesome GPT) adds an in-app assistant that connects to the ScitiX Model Inference API through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Keep the plugin updated for compatibility with your Zotero version. The steps below use Zotero GPT 3.1.x on Zotero 7+/9. Newer versions may differ slightly. For available models, such as glm-5.2 and DeepSeek-V4-Flash, and pricing, see the model catalog.

​
Configure

Create an API Key on the API Keys page first.

​
1. Install the Zotero GPT plugin

Download the latest zotero-gpt.xpi from the releases page. In Zotero, open Tools → Plugins, click the gear icon, choose Install Plugin From File…, and select the .xpi. Enable it if prompted. A GPT icon appears in the toolbar.

​
2. Configure ScitiX

Open the GPT box by clicking the GPT toolbar icon. Then type these commands one at a time, pressing Enter after each:
/api must not include /v1. Zotero GPT appends /v1/chat/completions itself, so adding /v1 would duplicate the path.
Choose a model with native tool calling if you use the plugin’s agent or PDF-RAG features. The active model is shown next to the Ask selector in the GPT box, such as glm-5.2. Zotero GPT — chatting with a ScitiX model (glm-5.2)

​
Verify

In the GPT box, type a question and press Enter. The reply streams from the ScitiX model.
The assistant may identify itself as “Awesome GPT” or a generic model rather than the exact model ID. That is the plugin’s own system prompt, not a routing issue; the model shown next to Ask is the ScitiX model in use.
