• Repo: https://github.com/chatboxai/chatbox
• Web version: https://web.chatboxai.app

Prerequisites

1. Download and install the platform client from the ChatBox website, or use the web version directly
2. Create an API Key in the Sakrylle Console

Configuration

ChatBox connects to Sakrylle via the OpenAI-compatible mode:

1. Open ChatBox and click Settings (gear icon) at the bottom-left
2. Go to the Model tab
3. In the Model Provider dropdown, choose OpenAI API or OpenAI Custom
4. In the configuration area, fill in:
   • API Key: your Sakrylle key
   • API Host: https://api.sakrylle.com
   • If the UI has an "API Path" field, keep the default /v1/chat/completions
   • If there is only a single "API Base URL" field, fill in https://api.sakrylle.com/v1
5. Model field:
   • Pick gpt-5.6-sol from the dropdown if available; otherwise click Custom Model or Add Model and enter manually:
     • gpt-5.6-sol
     • gpt-5.4
     • gpt-5.5
6. Save settings and return to the main view to start a new chat

Field names vary slightly across ChatBox versions ("API Host" / "API Base URL"). The core principle is: as long as the final request lands on https://api.sakrylle.com/v1/chat/completions, you're good — split host and path according to the meaning of the fields in your current UI.

FAQ

• Empty model list: ChatBox does not auto-fetch from /v1/models; you must manually add custom model names
• 401 invalid_api_key: check whether the key was copied in full, is still enabled, and has not been deleted
• Network error / Connection failed: check spelling of the API Host / Base URL; if a system proxy or VPN is on, turn it off and retry
• Streaming not working / spinner stuck: in settings, turn off "streaming response" first to confirm non-streaming works, then debug proxy / firewall
• Mobile cellular cannot connect: try Wi-Fi; some carriers block overseas domains
