Complete Setup Guide
Get Your DeepInfra API Key
First, you'll need to obtain an API key from DeepInfra. This key allows you to access their AI models directly and pay only for what you use.
- Visit DeepInfra's API console
- Sign up or log in to your account
- Navigate to the API keys section
- Generate a new API key (copy it immediately as some providers only show it once)
- Save your API key in a secure password manager or encrypted note
Sometimes, this provider will require you to add a payment method to your account before you can use your API key to chat with AI. So, to avoid any hiccups, make sure you've got a payment method set up and ready to go!
Important: Keep your API key secure and never share it publicly. Store it safely as you'll need it to connect with TypingMind.
Configure TypingMind with DeepInfra API Key
Option 1: Use the built-in Deepinfra provider (recommended)
The quickest way. TypingMind already has Deepinfra set up, so you only need to add your API key.
- Open TypingMind and click "Models" in the left sidebar.
- Search for Deepinfra.
- Click the settings (gear) button next to Deepinfra.
- Paste your API key and save.
Option 2: Add the model manually
If you can't find the provider or model ID in the official list, you can add the model manually:
Open the Models page
Open TypingMind, click "Models" in the left sidebar, then click "Add custom model" in the top right corner.
Enter the model details
Keep "Create Manually" selected and fill in the model details:
Name:GPT OSS 120B via DeepInfra(or your preferred name)Model ID:openai/gpt-oss-120bfor example (check DeepInfra model list)Context Length: Enter the model's context window (e.g., 131072 for openai/gpt-oss-120b)
Set up authentication
In the "Authentication" tab, set the connection details:
API Type:OpenAI Chat Completions APIEndpoint URL:https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/chat/completionsAuthentication Type:API Key via HTTP HeaderHeader Key:AuthorizationHeader Value:Bearer <DEEPINFRA_API_KEY>
Add pricing (optional)
Open the "Pricing" tab and enter the model's input, output, and cache prices per 1M tokens so TypingMind can estimate your usage costs.
Check the capabilities
In the "Capabilities" tab, keep "Auto check capabilities on save" on so TypingMind detects supported features like plugins, image input, and thinking, or enable them manually.
Test and save
Click "Test & Save" to verify the connection and add the model.
