Entry point
- Vendor panel → Channel Management
- Click Add New Channel in the upper right corner
Create a channel
Channels can be added in two ways: Automatic / Manual.Automatic (recommended)
Suitable for most cases.- Select Automatic
- Select the model series and API vendor
-
Paste your keys (one per line; batch supported)
- For Azure resources, follow the on-page instructions (usually each line contains the Endpoint and Key, separated by a space)
- Set the price (your buyback price)
- Set the maximum consumption limit (controls how much balance/quota this channel can consume at most)
- Click Create
- Connects to and validates your API
- Detects available models
- Adds the available models to the channel
Note: Automatic detection and addition incur a small amount of consumption (used to probe and fetch model capabilities).
Manual
For cases where you only want to provide specific models or a special configuration.- Select Manual
- Fill in the name, API endpoint, model series, and API vendor
- Select/enter the models and keys
- Set the price and maximum consumption
- Create
- With manual addition, you must ensure the models are actually available. If a model is unavailable, you lack permission, or the configuration is wrong, the channel may be disabled automatically by the system.
Update channel models (Tools panel)
When a vendor releases new models (for example, new OpenAI releases), you can use the Tools panel to sync the models a channel supports in bulk:- Channel Management → Tools Panel in the upper right
- Select Update Channel Models
- Click Start Update
- Scans the models the channel currently supports
- Adds newly available models to the channel (per system rules)
Channel Management Log
Automated actions related to channels (for example, model updates, disabling/enabling, and status changes) are all recorded here for troubleshooting and auditing. Common entries include:- Automatic channel model updates
- Channel disabled/enabled (with a reason note)
- Automatic disabling due to insufficient balance / exhausted quota
- Model not found or no permission (detected by the system, then flagged and handled)
Day-to-day recommendations
- Prefer automatic addition: It’s easier, and model syncing is more reliable.
- Set a maximum consumption limit: Prevents a single channel from consuming too much if something goes wrong.
- Check channel status and logs regularly: Balance, error reasons, and whether the system has disabled a channel can all be quickly located here.
