WorkBuddy

Prepare API

Before configuration, make sure you have the following information:

API Key

A string of your created API Key.

Base URL

Address: https://api.jalapeno-cloud.ai/v1

Important: Must include the trailing /v1

Model Name

Copy the full model name from the Model Marketplace, e.g., DeepSeek-V4-Pro

Install WorkBuddy / CodeBuddy

Download and install from the CodeBuddy official website.

WorkBuddy and CodeBuddy differ only in name; their functionality and configuration are identical.

• CodeBuddy config folder: ~/.codebuddy/models.json
• WorkBuddy config folder: ~/.workbuddy/models.json

Connect WorkBuddy / CodeBuddy

Edit Configuration File

Add custom models via the models.json configuration file. Two configuration levels are supported:

• User-level (global): ~/.codebuddy/models.json
• Project-level: <project-root>/.codebuddy/models.json

Project-level configuration takes precedence over user-level. If both exist, models with the same ID use the project-level configuration.

Configuration Example

Edit ~/.codebuddy/models.json and add the following content:

{
  "models": [
    {
      "id": "glm-5.1",
      "name": "GLM-5.1",
