LLM Proxy
Domain: Models & Providers
Motivation
Routing model calls through a proxy lets a deployment reach a provider via an intermediary endpoint. The pi-ai adapter’s baseURL per route points at a proxy (e.g. https://proxy.example.com:8443), and sensevoice model downloads follow redirects through the Host’s fetch proxy. The DeepSeek adapter itself uses raw fetch, so it has no built-in shared proxy interception.
Concrete Example
A pi-ai route openai: { baseURL: 'https://proxy.example.com:8443', apiKeyEnv: OPENAI_API_KEY } sends every model request through the proxy.
Analogy
Sending mail through a forwarding office instead of straight to the address.
