NextChat ​

NextChat (formerly ChatGPT-Next-Web) is a lightweight, self-hostable web / desktop AI client.

Steps (in the UI) ​

  1. Open NextChat and go to Settings.

  2. Find Custom Endpoint or the OpenAI endpoint settings, and enable the custom toggle.

  3. Fill in:

    Custom Modelsgpt-4o-mini,claude-3-5-sonnet,gemini-1.5-pro

    TIP

    NextChat usually appends /v1 automatically, so the domain is enough; add /v1 if you get a 404. Separate multiple custom models with commas.

  4. Save and switch to your model at the top of the chat.

Self-hosted environment variables ​

If you deploy NextChat yourself, point it at the platform directly:

bash
BASE_URL=https://gateway.mindproxy.ai
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key
CUSTOM_MODELS=+gpt-4o-mini,+claude-3-5-sonnet,+gemini-1.5-pro

Troubleshooting ​

  • 404: adjust /v1 on the address.
  • Target model missing in the switcher: add the model ID to "Custom Models / CUSTOM_MODELS".
  • See common troubleshooting.
