Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/3855

Originally assigned to: @appflowy on GitHub.

Description

Currently the openai api points are hardcoded into the code (api.openai.com ...).

This prevents usage over proxies where the normal site may be blocked, or usage with compatible apis such as azure's openai or localai.

I suggest adding a baseurl option along with the openai key option, that will default to the openai endpoint but will let users choose.

Impact

Users that can't use the normal openai endpoint can still benefit from the AI features in appflowy.

Additional Context

No response

Yes! That would also allow to use API for Mistral AI for example which is compatible with OpenAI's one!

However, it would also require to be able to specify the model to use, not only the baseurl (mistral-tiny, mistral-small or mistral-medium). Being able to change the model would also allow OpenAI users to choose the model they want to use. Currently, it seems that only gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct is usable as it is hardcoded:

It's 2025 and we still cannot use any other AI provider than OpenAI. It's sad. Eg. Azure Openai should not be that huge issue to implement as it's merely a configurable base url...

I'd recommend to go with something like https://openrouter.ai/ for once off effort to support all vendors.
