Does Factory Droid work with Standard Compute?

Yes. Factory Droid 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 Factory Droid?

Use https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1 as the OpenAI-compatible base URL in Factory Droid, 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 Factory Droid

Factory's coding agent for the terminal and desktop, with custom models declared in one settings file. Paste three settings into Droid: the base URL, your Standard Compute API key and the model.

Droid picks the API by provider: generic-chat-completion-api for Chat Completions, openai for the Responses API. Standard Compute serves both at https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1.

Connect Droid

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

What changes in Droid

Billing: Droid 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: Factory's pricing page says bring-your-own-key use is free up to an allowance on its Individual plans (Pro is $20 a month) and is then charged according to your plan. Custom models work in the Droid CLI and desktop app, not Factory's web or mobile apps, and the key stays on your machine.
