Aider
Two variables and one flag.
Public
Set these in your shell, then start Aider with the model ID prefixed by openai/.

export OPENAI_API_BASE=https://api.pollio.ai/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=pl-live-...
aider --model openai/deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash
Private
Start pollio proxy on your machine, then point Aider at it instead.

export OPENAI_API_BASE=http://127.0.0.1:8787/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=pl-live-...
aider --model openai/deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash
If OPENAI_BASE_URL is also set, unset it: it takes precedence over OPENAI_API_BASE.
