  Everyone uses that for openai compatible api requests. Its actually great. Most backends and frontends "just work" with each other because they all talk with openai (albeit with some caveats).

    I think you might be thinking of litellm? OpenAI is for OpenAI.com (although you can override the base URL it’s far from ideal).

      What do you mean "far from ideal"? It's literally just passing in your services URL rather than using the default when instantiating the client. Something you will need to do with any client you use.

  I wondered that too. I see a comment, but I still wonder why its "required" here.
