Configure PyGPT, the desktop AI assistant, to use Eden AI for 500+ models behind one API key.

​
Overview

PyGPT is a desktop application for chat, vision, image generation and agents. Eden AI is a built-in provider, configured entirely from the settings window with no file editing:
  • 500+ models: reach OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral and more through one key
  • Its own settings tab: Eden AI has a dedicated tab under API keys
  • LLM and embeddings: the provider serves both, so semantic index features work from the same key
  • EU endpoint: change one field to route through api.eu.edenai.run

​
Prerequisites

​
Setup

​
1. Enter your key

  1. Open Config then Settings.
  2. Go to the API Keys section and select the Eden AI tab.
  3. Paste your key into Eden AI API key.
  4. Leave API Endpoint at its default, https://api.edenai.run/v3.
  5. Save.

​
2. Add an Eden AI model

Models are declared in the model editor with edenai as their provider, and the model name in Eden AI’s vendor/model form. For example anthropic/claude-sonnet-latest or openai/gpt-5-mini. Once saved, the model appears in the model picker like any other.

​
Model naming

Eden AI addresses models as vendor/model, and PyGPT forwards the name unchanged. The live catalogue is public and needs no key:
Read the catalogue rather than copying a list from a guide, since IDs are retired over time. anthropic/claude-sonnet-latest is an alias that always resolves to the current Sonnet, which makes it a safe default for a model entry you do not want to revisit.

​
Embeddings

The Eden AI provider also serves embeddings, so PyGPT’s index and semantic search features work from the same key. Embedding models live on a separate catalogue:
An embedding model will not appear in /v3/models, which is a common source of confusion when picking one.

​
EU data residency

Change the API Endpoint field in the Eden AI settings tab:
The EU endpoint serves the subset of the catalogue available in the EU, so a model that works on the global endpoint is not guaranteed to be reachable through it.

​
Troubleshooting

​
Authentication errors

Re-check the key in Settings then API Keys then Eden AI. Make sure it is an Eden AI key and not a vendor key, and that it was pasted into the Eden AI tab rather than another provider’s.

​
model not found

Use the full vendor/model form, for example openai/gpt-5-mini and not gpt-5-mini. Copy the identifier exactly as GET /v3/models returns it.

​
The endpoint field was cleared

An empty API Endpoint leaves the provider without a base URL. Restore the default, https://api.edenai.run/v3, or the EU host if that is what you want.
