Chutes

Chutes exposes open-source model catalogs through an OpenAI-compatible API. FluffBuzz supports both browser OAuth and direct API-key auth for the bundled chutes provider.

Property	Value
Provider	`chutes`
API	OpenAI-compatible
Base URL	`https://llm.chutes.ai/v1`
Auth	OAuth or API key (see below)

Getting started

OAuth
API key

Run the OAuth onboarding flow

fluffbuzz onboard --auth-choice chutes

FluffBuzz launches the browser flow locally, or shows a URL + redirect-paste flow on remote/headless hosts. OAuth tokens auto-refresh through FluffBuzz auth profiles.

Verify the default model

After onboarding, the default model is set to chutes/zai-org/GLM-4.7-TEE and the bundled Chutes catalog is registered.

Get an API key

Create a key at chutes.ai/settings/api-keys.

Run the API key onboarding flow

fluffbuzz onboard --auth-choice chutes-api-key

Verify the default model

After onboarding, the default model is set to chutes/zai-org/GLM-4.7-TEE and the bundled Chutes catalog is registered.

Both auth paths register the bundled Chutes catalog and set the default model to chutes/zai-org/GLM-4.7-TEE. Runtime environment variables: CHUTES_API_KEY, CHUTES_OAUTH_TOKEN.

Discovery behavior

When Chutes auth is available, FluffBuzz queries the Chutes catalog with that credential and uses the discovered models. If discovery fails, FluffBuzz falls back to a bundled static catalog so onboarding and startup still work.

Default aliases

FluffBuzz registers three convenience aliases for the bundled Chutes catalog:

Alias	Target model
`chutes-fast`	`chutes/zai-org/GLM-4.7-FP8`
`chutes-pro`	`chutes/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-TEE`
`chutes-vision`	`chutes/chutesai/Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506`

Built-in starter catalog

The bundled fallback catalog includes current Chutes refs:

Model ref
`chutes/zai-org/GLM-4.7-TEE`
`chutes/zai-org/GLM-5-TEE`
`chutes/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-TEE`
`chutes/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-0528-TEE`
`chutes/moonshotai/Kimi-K2.5-TEE`
`chutes/chutesai/Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506`
`chutes/Qwen/Qwen3-Coder-Next-TEE`
`chutes/openai/gpt-oss-120b-TEE`

Config example

{
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      model: { primary: "chutes/zai-org/GLM-4.7-TEE" },
      models: {
        "chutes/zai-org/GLM-4.7-TEE": { alias: "Chutes GLM 4.7" },
        "chutes/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-TEE": { alias: "Chutes DeepSeek V3.2" },
      },
    },
  },
}

OAuth overrides

You can customize the OAuth flow with optional environment variables:

Variable	Purpose
`CHUTES_CLIENT_ID`	Custom OAuth client ID
`CHUTES_CLIENT_SECRET`	Custom OAuth client secret
`CHUTES_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI`	Custom redirect URI
`CHUTES_OAUTH_SCOPES`	Custom OAuth scopes

See the Chutes OAuth docs for redirect-app requirements and help.

Notes

API-key and OAuth discovery both use the same chutes provider id.
Chutes models are registered as chutes/<model-id>.
If discovery fails at startup, the bundled static catalog is used automatically.
