Open WebUI

Open WebUI should use the same /v1 path as the OpenAI SDKs.

Treat CheapAI as an OpenAI-compatible backend inside Open WebUI. Start with one clean slug and confirm the connection before you switch models.

Connection values

  • Provider type: OpenAI-compatible or custom OpenAI connection
  • Base URL: https://base.cheap-api.shop/v1
  • API key: your delivered CheapAI key
  • First model: gpt-5.3

After it connects

After the first successful chat, you can switch to other supported slugs from Models & Slugs, including Claude, Gemini, and GLM families through the same OpenAI-compatible path.

This block follows the current public catalog, so new models and reordered families can surface here automatically after you save them.
