Byok Custom Model

Lets you register your own API keys for Claude, GPT, Grok, DeepSeek, Qwen, and about a dozen other LLMs so they show up in Starchild's model selector. Ships with 11 pre-configured vendors where you just pick the name and paste your key. For anything else, you drop in a curl example from the docs and it auto-detects the endpoint shape. The privacy angle is interesting: NEAR AI models run in Intel/NVIDIA TEEs, so if you're doing something sensitive and don't trust OpenAI's logging promises, that's your play. Once registered, calls bypass the platform proxy entirely and hit the vendor directly.

🔑 BYOK — Custom LLM Models

Register a custom LLM endpoint to the model selector. Bypasses the platform proxy — the user supplies their own API key, the agent hits the vendor / aggregator directly (OpenRouter, DashScope, Anthropic native, NEAR AI Cloud TEE, self-hosted, etc.).

This is a script-mode skill — no tools registered. Read this file, then call the exports from a bash block.

Curated vendors (always check this first)

The skill ships with 12 pre-configured vendors. Always match the user's intent against this list before asking for any URL, model name, or API example — base_url / wire / thinking / capabilities are all pre-filled, so a curated match goes straight to add_template(vendor=...).
