Cursor
Use your cheapaimodel key for chat models in Cursor.
Cursor lets you bring your own OpenAI-compatible key and base URL.
Set it up
- Open Cursor Settings → Models.
- Under API Keys, enter your cheapaimodel key in OpenAI API Key.
- Turn on Override OpenAI Base URL and enter
https://api.cheapaimodel.ai/v1. - Select Verify.
- Add the model IDs you want from the catalog with Add model, and pick one in the chat model selector.
Cursor decides which features use your own key. Some built-in features, such as Tab completion, always run on Cursor's own models and are not billed to your cheapaimodel balance.
