# Generic OpenAI-compatible clients

> Connect clients that accept a custom OpenAI base URL and model.

## Connection values

* Base URL: [https://api.asterwise.dev/v1](https://api.asterwise.dev/v1)
* API key: an active Aster API key
* Model: aster-code or aster-work
* Protocol: Responses or Chat Completions, according to the client

## Compatibility boundary

OpenAI-compatible means the documented Aster route accepts the common request and response shape used by the qualified integrations. It does not promise every field, extension, client, or future client version. Verify text first, then streaming, tools, continuation, and attachments that your workflow actually needs.
