Connect Your First Model

Silicon Worker has no built-in LLM; it connects to a model service you choose. It supports several providers — you just provide an API Key.

Supported providers

• OpenAI-compatible (default): any service exposing /v1/chat/completions with Bearer Token auth.
• Anthropic native: Claude models (/v1/messages + x-api-key).
• Chinese providers: DeepSeek, Qwen, and others (typically OpenAI-compatible).

Steps

1. Open Silicon Worker → Settings → Models / Providers.
2. Choose the provider type (OpenAI-compatible / Anthropic).
3. Enter your API Key; for custom or regional services, also set Base URL and model name.
4. Save and select this model as the active one.

Primary & fallback (optional)

You can configure a fallback model. If the primary model call fails, Silicon Worker automatically switches to the fallback for better reliability.

API Keys are stored locally. Keep your API Keys safe.
