# Using in Cherry Studio
> Configure APIAny.AI API keys, base URLs, and recommended models in Cherry Studio.
[Cherry Studio](https://www.cherry-ai.com/) can connect to APIAny.AI through OpenAI-compatible settings. After setup, you can use chat, reasoning, translation, and multimodal models from the same client.
## Prerequisites
* Cherry Studio is installed.
* You have created an API key in the [APIAny.AI dashboard](https://apiany.ai/dashboard/api-keys).
* You have selected a model ID, such as `gpt-5.4-mini` or `gpt-4o-mini`.
## Configuration values
| Field | Value |
| ------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| Name | `APIAny.AI` |
| API Key | Your APIAny.AI API key |
| API URL | `https://apiany.ai` |
| Model | `gpt-5.4-mini`, `gpt-4o-mini`, or another available model |
## Setup
1. Open Settings and go to model service configuration.
2. Add a custom OpenAI-compatible service named APIAny.AI.
3. Enter the API key and API URL.
4. Select the added model in a new chat and test it.
## Recommended models
| Model ID | Best for |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `gpt-5.5` | Best first choice for complex reasoning, coding, and production workflows. |
| `gpt-5.4` | Strong general-purpose model for advanced chat and agent tasks. |
| `gpt-5.4-mini` | Balanced speed, quality, and cost for everyday usage. |
| `gpt-4o-mini` | Fast and economical choice for simple chat, translation, and lightweight tasks. |
| `claude-sonnet-4-6` | Claude-compatible model ID for long-form writing and coding workflows. |
| `gemini-3.5-flash` | Gemini-compatible model ID for fast multimodal usage. |

## Troubleshooting
### 401 or authentication errors
Make sure the API key is copied completely, has no extra spaces, and is enabled in the APIAny.AI dashboard.
### The model does not appear in the app
Enter the model ID manually and confirm it is available in the [model catalog](/models/chat-models). Some tools do not fetch model lists automatically.
### Which Base URL should I use?
OpenAI-compatible settings usually use `https://apiany.ai/v1`; Claude-compatible settings usually use `https://apiany.ai`; tools that ask for a full endpoint use `https://apiany.ai/v1/chat/completions`.
