How to use Venice Small from Venice AI with API Key on TypingMind

1. Visit Venice AI'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

1. Open TypingMind in your browser
2. Click the "Settings" icon (gear symbol)
3. Navigate to "Models" section
4. Click "Add Custom Model"
5. Fill in the model information:
   Name: qwen3-4b via Venice AI (or your preferred name)

   Endpoint: https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/chat/completions

   Model ID: qwen3-4b

   Context Length: Enter the model's context window (e.g., 32000 for qwen3-4b)

6. Add custom headers by clicking "Add Custom Headers" in the Advanced Settings section:
   Authorization: Bearer <VENICE_API_KEY>:

   X-Title: typingmind.com

   HTTP-Referer: https://www.typingmind.com
7. Enable "Support Plugins (via OpenAI Functions)" if the model supports the "functions" or "tool_calls" parameter, or enable "Support OpenAI Vision" if the model supports vision.
8. Click "Test" to verify the configuration
9. If you see "Nice, the endpoint is working!", click "Add Model"
