# Put a compatible model into the coding loop

Source: https://cicora.ai/en/solutions/ai-coding

Configure an AI coding workflow with Anthropic Messages compatibility, explicit model aliases, and platform API keys.

Use the interface your coding tool expects, choose a model explicitly, and retain one platform key for the request path.

## A coding loop with explicit configuration

A local coding CLI, a platform API key, and a selected model alias.

A model response in the terminal with the configured endpoint.

The interactive picker may not show the full third-party catalog; pass a model explicitly.

## Continue the coding setup

### Configure

Set the Anthropic-compatible endpoint.

### Choose

Pass a public ID or alias.

### Work

Keep the response in the coding loop.

## FAQ

### What is cicora.ai?

cicora.ai is a multi-model AI workspace and compatible API for chat, text, images, video, coding tools, and teams. Start with the [overview](/en.md), [documentation](/en/docs.md), or [model catalog](/en/models.md).

### How is usage billed?

Confirmed usage is charged in USD from the active workspace's prepaid balance. Use the live catalog for current model prices and the [usage guide](/en/docs/usage-costs.md) for settlement details.

### Which protocols and integrations are available?

Documentation covers OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions and Responses, Anthropic Messages, image interfaces, Claude Code, OpenCode, and Codex CLI. Compatibility does not imply support for every upstream parameter.

### Which sources are authoritative and current?

For model IDs, availability, capabilities, limits, and prices, use the [live catalog](/en/models.md). For API behavior, use the matching [documentation page](/en/docs.md). Never include API keys, private workspace data, or preview URLs in public documents.
