Complete Setup Guide

I

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.

  1. Visit DeepInfra's API console
  2. Sign up or log in to your account
  3. Navigate to the API keys section
  4. Generate a new API key (copy it immediately as some providers only show it once)
  5. 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.

  1. Open TypingMind and click "Models" in the left sidebar.
  2. Search for Deepinfra.
  3. Click the settings (gear) button next to Deepinfra.
  4. 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:

  1. Open the Models page

    Open TypingMind, click "Models" in the left sidebar, then click "Add custom model" in the top right corner.

    Model ID: openai/gpt-oss-120b for example (check DeepInfra model list)
    Context Length: Enter the model's context window (e.g., 131072 for openai/gpt-oss-120b)
    Add Custom Model dialog in TypingMind filled in for openai/gpt-oss-120b

    Authentication Type: API Key via HTTP Header
    Header Key: Authorization
    Header Value: Bearer <DEEPINFRA_API_KEY>
