Official API

SoloEnt provides officially hosted API access. Once logged in, you can use it directly without setting up any third-party keys.

Free models

Official free models are available immediately after login. The list is updated regularly. Settings panel showing SoloEnt AI as the API provider with Free tab listing available free models
Free models are for trying out the tool. Response times may be slower or less consistent during periods of high demand.

Subscription models (VIP)

Lite, Pro, and Max subscribers can use all models in the VIP list — covering the latest models from top providers including Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and DeepSeek — without configuring any third-party API key.
SoloEnt API pricing matches the official pricing of each model provider, with no additional fees.

Configure different models for Plan and Act modes

Official models support setting different models for Plan Mode and Act Mode:
  • Some models are more structured during the planning phase and improve interactive clarification — e.g. Sonnet 4.6, GLM-5
  • Some models are better suited for creative writing execution or have lower running costs — e.g. Gemini, DeepSeek
Separate configuration is optional, suited for power users with deep familiarity with different models. API Configuration panel showing Plan Mode and Act Mode tabs and the 'Use different models for Plan and Act modes' option at the bottom

Third-party API key configuration

An API key is your authentication credential for accessing AI models — typically a random string:
sk-abc123xyz456def789ghi012jkl345mno678pqr901stu234
Important: API access is billed separately from monthly subscriptions. A $20 subscription does not include API usage.
