Does Codewhale work with Standard Compute?

Yes. Codewhale supports a custom OpenAI-compatible base URL, so it works with Standard Compute. Set the base URL to https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1, paste your API key, and set the model to "standardcompute".

What base URL do I use for Codewhale?

Use https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1 as the OpenAI-compatible base URL in Codewhale, with your Standard Compute API key and the model "standardcompute".

Do I need to change my code or model names?

No code changes. The model "standardcompute" routes each request to a frontier or an efficient model, so you don't pick or update model names; an exact model ID from the Models page pins one model instead.

Use Standard Compute with Codewhale

The open-source Rust terminal coding agent formerly called DeepSeek-TUI, now provider-neutral, with OpenAI-compatible gateways configured in one TOML file. Paste three settings into Codewhale: the base URL, your Standard Compute API key and the model.

Codewhale never sends ambient keys such as OPENAI_API_KEY to a custom host; a custom provider needs its own api_key or api_key_env, and an unset api_key_env is a loud error rather than a silent fallback.

Connect Codewhale

Eligible new accounts can try $0.25 of compute, with no card. See trial terms →

Where to set them in Codewhale

Open ~/.codewhale/config.toml (Codewhale migrates an old ~/.deepseek/config.toml on first launch).
Add [providers.standardcompute] with kind = "openai-compatible", base_url = "https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1", api_key_env = "STANDARDCOMPUTE_API_KEY" and model = "standardcompute", and set provider = "standardcompute" at the top.
Export STANDARDCOMPUTE_API_KEY and run codewhale, or codewhale --provider standardcompute for one session. Change models with /model.

What changes in Codewhale

Billing: Codewhale requests draw on one monthly compute budget, with plans from $19 a month. There is no per-token bill. When the budget is used, requests stop until renewal or an upgrade, unless you turn on pay as you go.
Models: The model standardcompute picks a frontier or an efficient model for each request. An exact model ID from the Models page pins one model instead.
Good to know: Codewhale is free and MIT-licensed. The Codewhale account is optional: it stores provider keys across devices, and local use works without it.
