Zed

Zed can use OpenAI-compatible providers from settings.json. Point a custom provider at AICredits to route coding chat and assistant requests through your INR wallet.

Configuration

Open Zed → Settings → Open Settings JSON and add an OpenAI-compatible provider:

{
  "language_models": {
    "openai": {
      "api_url": "https://api.aicredits.in/v1",
      "available_models": [
        {
          "name": "openai/gpt-4o-mini",
          "display_name": "AICredits GPT-4o mini",
          "max_tokens": 128000
        },
        {
          "name": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5",
          "display_name": "AICredits Claude Sonnet",
          "max_tokens": 200000
        },
        {
          "name": "deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash",
          "display_name": "AICredits DeepSeek Flash",
          "max_tokens": 64000
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Then set the API key through Zed's provider UI if prompted, or export it before launching Zed:

export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-your-aicredits-key"

Model Choices

Verify

Open Zed Assistant and ask:

Reply with "AICredits via Zed" and nothing else.

Then check Dashboard → Usage for the request, model, token count, and INR cost.

Troubleshooting

401 Unauthorized — Make sure Zed is using an AICredits key that starts with sk-.

Model is missing — Add the exact model ID to available_models, or pick a model listed on Models.

Requests use another provider — Select the custom OpenAI-compatible provider/model in Zed Assistant before sending the prompt.
