The two protocols
LMU AI supports two connection protocols; choose one based on the model type:
| Protocol | Models |
|---|---|
| Anthropic | Claude models, Chinese models (DeepSeek, Qwen, etc.) |
| OpenAI-Response | OpenAI models (GPT-4, GPT-5, etc.) |
Method 1: Anthropic protocol (Claude and Chinese models)

Anthropicfrom the dropdown

Step 2 — Enter the API details
- API Key: enter the
sk-key generated in the console - API Host: enter the API relay request address
