Providers

Boitata's provider layer is a multi-provider abstraction over the Provider trait. Three providers ship built-in:

Provider	`provider` value	Models
Anthropic	`"anthropic"`	Claude (Sonnet, Opus, Haiku)
OpenAI	`"openai"`	GPT (GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini), and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
Ollama	`"ollama"`	Local models via Ollama

z.ai (GLM models)

z.ai exposes both an OpenAI-compatible and an Anthropic-compatible API, so either provider works against it.

OpenAI-compatible (recommended)

Matches the openai provider exactly:

provider = "openai"
model    = "glm-4.6"
base_url = "https://api.z.ai/api/paas/v4/chat/completions"
max_tokens = 4096

Anthropic-compatible

Uses the native Anthropic Messages API:

provider = "anthropic"
model    = "glm-4.6"
base_url = "https://api.z.ai/api/anthropic/v1/messages"
max_tokens = 4096

Then:

export BOITATA_API_KEY="your-z.ai-key"
./target/release/boitata run "Say hello and confirm the connection works"

The anthropic provider authenticates with the x-api-key header. If z.ai's Anthropic endpoint rejects it in favor of Authorization: Bearer, prefer the OpenAI-compatible config above.

Local models with Ollama

No API key required; just point at a running Ollama instance:

provider = "ollama"
model    = "llama3.2"
base_url = "http://localhost:11434"

API key precedence

For any provider, leave api_key blank in the file and export it instead. The BOITATA_API_KEY env var takes precedence over the config file:

export BOITATA_API_KEY="your-key"
