FAQ

What should I enter for API Host? Chatbox’s OpenAI provider requires the full URL https://aihubmix.com/v1/chat/completions, not only the domain or /v1. What should I check when the model test fails? Confirm that the API key is complete, API Host is the full Chat Completions URL, and Model ID matches the AIHubMix model list. If needed, use https://api.inferera.com/v1/chat/completions. Why is the model missing after import? Reopen the model picker and search for the model nickname. If it is still missing, add the model through the interface. Last updated: 2026-07-15
