Tavo

Tavo adds FreeTheAI as a Custom (OpenAI Protocol) API connection. Use the base URL ending in /v1 and a model ID from the models page.

Category: Roleplay apps. Before you start, you need a FreeTheAI account, an API key, and today's check-in.

Settings ​

Model PlatformCustom (OpenAI Protocol)
API Base URLhttps://api.freetheai.org/v1
API KeyYour FreeTheAI key (ftai_..., 53 characters)
Model Namefta/zai/glm-5.3

Steps ​

Open API Connection ​

Open the menu and tap API Connection, then Add New.

Choose the platform ​

Set Model Platform to Custom (OpenAI Protocol).

Enter your details ​

Paste your key, the API Base URL ending in /v1 (not /chat/completions), and a model name. Tap Save.

Make it the default ​

Open the menu next to the new connection and set it as the default, then start a chat.

Tips ​

  • Adjust temperature and reply length under Parameter Settings on the connection page.
  • To turn off a model's thinking, turn on "Turn thinking off" for your key on the API keys page (scope & settings). It works for every model and needs nothing in Tavo. Adding {"thinking": {"type": "disabled"}} under request body parameters also works on some models.
Tavo Model settings with sliders for temperature, top-p, and penalties, and a Request body parameters box holding {"thinking": {"type": "disabled"}}.

Common questions ​

Tavo cannot connect. What should I check? ​

The base URL must be api.freetheai.org/v1, the key must be complete, and you must have checked in today at freetheai.org/checkin.
