Integration

Works with LM Studio

Connect to a local LM Studio server for LLM inference with zero configuration.

LM Studio Integration

Local LLM inference via OpenAI-compatible API

                            # Set the API endpoint

                            export OPENAI_API_BASE="http://localhost:1234"

                            # Run with local model

                            zig build run -- agent "What is Zig?"

Gateway Server

OpenClaw-compatible HTTP API on port 18789

                            # Start the gateway

                            zig build run -- gateway

                            # Test the endpoint

                            curl
                                http://127.0.0.1:18789/v1/chat/completions
