AI Chat Applications
Connect popular chat applications to TokenLab
Overview
Most chat apps can connect through their OpenAI-compatible settings. Enter https://api.tokenlab.sh/v1 as the Base URL, paste a TokenLab API key, and choose a current chat model ID.
The app-specific settings below identify the API where a choice is required. Some apps select Responses by model. Use a model that supports the API used by your app; coding tools have separate integration guides.

Enable and select a model, then send a test message. LobeChat can automatically use Responses for some GPT models, so choose a TokenLab model that supports the API it uses.
Choose a Model
Copy a current chat model ID from the Models page. Capabilities, context limits, and prices can change, so do not keep a static model list in setup instructions.
