Presets

Available Presets

Rusty ships with presets for popular LLM providers. Use --preset to select one:

Preset	API Base	Default Model
`xiaomi`	`https://token-plan-cn.xiaomimimo.com/v1`	`mimo-v2.5-pro`
`kimi`	`https://api.kimi.com/coding/v1/`	`kimi-k2`
`openai`	`https://api.openai.com/v1`	`gpt-4o`
`deepseek`	`https://api.deepseek.com`	`deepseek-v4-pro`
`ollama`	`http://localhost:11434/v1`	`llama3`

Usage

# Use OpenAI with an API key
rusty --preset openai --api-key sk-...

# Use local Ollama
rusty --preset ollama

# Use DeepSeek
rusty --preset deepseek --api-key sk-...

Custom Endpoints

For providers not listed as presets, set --api-base and --model directly:

rusty --api-base https://your-provider.com/v1 --api-key YOUR_KEY --model your-model

Any OpenAI-compatible API endpoint works, including:

Azure OpenAI
Together AI
Groq
Fireworks AI
Self-hosted vLLM or text-generation-inference

Presets vs Settings

When using --preset, the preset’s api_base and default_model override what is in ~/.rusty/settings.json. You can still override individual fields with CLI flags:

# Use Xiaomi preset but with a different model
rusty --preset xiaomi --model mimo-v2-lite --api-key YOUR_KEY

Configuring a Default Provider

To set a default provider without using flags every time, edit ~/.rusty/settings.json:

{
  "api_base": "https://api.openai.com/v1",
  "default_model": "gpt-4o",
  "credential_store": "keyring"
}

Then run with just:

rusty
