New docs/wiki/Custom-Model-Endpoints.md (auto-synced to the live GitHub wiki on push to master, per docs/wiki/Contributing.md) covers turning the feature on, adding an endpoint, the Run-menu picker's one-off-run behaviour, the per-harness confidence table, and what it deliberately does not do yet (remote/Docker sessions, live hot-swap). Linked from the sidebar, from Agent-CLIs.md's "Read next" list plus a short pointer section, and from Settings-Reference.md's Models section.

# Custom Model Endpoints
|
|
|
|
Point a harness at your own OpenAI-compatible server instead of its native cloud backend, for
|
|
one session at a time. "Custom endpoint" covers **local** hardware (llama.cpp, Ollama, vLLM,
|
|
a home GPU rig, DGX Spark, Strix Halo) and **cloud** services (Azure AI Foundry's
|
|
OpenAI-compatible endpoint, OpenRouter, a company gateway) alike, anything answering
|
|
`GET /v1/models` and `POST /v1/chat/completions` in the standard shape.
|
|
|
|
**Off by default.** Turn it on in App Settings → Models → **Custom model endpoints**.
|
|
|
|
## Adding an endpoint
|
|
|
|
Still in App Settings → Models → Custom model endpoints:
|
|
|
|
1. **+ Add endpoint** — give it an id, a label, and the base URL (`http://192.168.1.50:8080`,
|
|
say). An API key is optional; most local servers don't check one.
|
|
2. **Discover** — fetches the endpoint's own model list over `GET /v1/models` and stores it.
|
|
3. Pick a **default model** from what was discovered. This is the model the Run-menu entry
|
|
below applies with no further choice, so set it once you know which one you want.
|
|
|
|
Endpoint management is admin-only in multi-user mode, the same as remote hosts and Docker
|
|
hosts — these are machine-level infra, not a per-user setting.
|
|
|
|
## Running a session against one
|
|
|
|
With the setting on and at least one endpoint carrying a usable default model, the **Run**
|
|
dropdown grows a **Custom Endpoints** section: one entry per harness that can redirect to a
|
|
custom endpoint, per saved endpoint, e.g. "Claude Code (llama.cpp)". Picking one starts a
|
|
session on that harness exactly the way its own entry would, then points it at the
|
|
endpoint's default model. It is a one-off "try this endpoint" action, not a sticky mode — the
|
|
plain **Run** button still means "this harness, native cloud" afterward, and a fresh session
|
|
never inherits whatever the last one was pointed at.
|
|
|
|
Applying a selection **restarts the harness's process in place** — same tab, same
|
|
conversation where the harness supports resuming one, fresh environment. That restart is
|
|
necessary, not incidental: every supported harness reads its endpoint config at process
|
|
start, never per turn, so there is no live hot-swap while a turn is running.
|
|
|
|
Entries are hidden entirely for a session in a **remote (SSH) or Docker case** — support for
|
|
redirecting those hasn't landed yet, see below.
|
|
|
|
## Which harnesses actually work
|
|
|
|
| Harness | Status |
|
|
| ------- | ------ |
|
|
| **Claude Code, opencode, Pi, Grok, OMP** | Verified end-to-end against a real local server. |
|
|
| **Codex** | Config is correct, but Codex only speaks the Responses API, which llama.cpp-style servers don't implement. A protocol gap, not a Codeman bug. |
|
|
| **Gemini** | Fails with an auth error gemini-cli raises once redirected. Unresolved; don't rely on it yet. |
|
|
| **DeepSeek** | Reaches the server but gets a consistent 404. Root cause not identified. |
|
|
| **Antigravity** | No known custom-endpoint mechanism at all. Not offered. |
|
|
|
|
Which harnesses show up in the Run-menu picker is read live off Codeman's own CLI registry,
|
|
not a fixed list here, so this table can go stale before this page does — a greyed-out or
|
|
missing entry is the more current answer.
|
|
|
|
## What it does not do
|
|
|
|
- **No remote or Docker sessions yet.** Both restart their agent differently under the hood
|
|
(reattaching a durable tmux session rather than relaunching the process), so redirecting
|
|
them needs its own plumbing that hasn't been built.
|
|
- **No live hot-swap mid-conversation.** Applying a selection always restarts the process.
|
|
- **Nothing is shared with your real cloud credentials.** The endpoint's own key, if any,
|
|
never touches your Anthropic/OpenAI/Google login — a custom endpoint is a separate,
|
|
explicit choice per session.
|
|
|
|
## Security
|
|
|
|
An endpoint's base URL can't point at a link-local or cloud-metadata address (both at save
|
|
time and against the address it actually resolves to), the same guard Web Tabs uses for
|
|
saved dashboards. Endpoint records and any per-session config files a harness needs are
|
|
written with owner-only permissions. See
|
|
[custom-model-endpoints-plan.md](https://github.com/Ark0N/Codeman/blob/master/docs/custom-model-endpoints-plan.md)
|
|
in the repository for the full design reasoning, including why this feature closed a
|
|
pre-existing gap in how session environment overrides were guarded rather than opening a new
|
|
one.
