| description | Use this skill when the user asks to use Nous Research, provider nous, or any nous model through app.nz; covers model selection when present, BYOK setup, OpenAI-compatible routing, provider-specific endpoints, aliases, and debugging gateway headers. |
Nous Research on app.nz
Route Nous Research through app.nz with one app.nz key. Use this skill when a user asks for Nous Research, nous, one of its model ids, aliases, product integrations, or BYOK setup for this provider.
Workflow
- Use
/api/gateway/models?provider=nous to confirm the current public model list if exact availability matters.
- Call app.nz at
https://app.nz/v1 with Authorization: Bearer pk_live_...; do not call https://inference-api.nousresearch.com directly unless the user explicitly asks to bypass app.nz.
- Store a user-owned upstream key with
POST /api/gateway/provider-keys using provider nous when BYOK is required. The upstream secret is never returned by app.nz.
- Prefer a model matching the task modality. If unsure, start with
hermes-4-70b or app/auto.
- Read
X-Gateway-Provider and X-Gateway-Model response headers when debugging routing.
BYOK
