TRAE IDE Quick Switch to Cloudwise MaaS

Add Cloudwise MaaS custom models to TRAE IDE's model manager — supporting both Anthropic-compatible and OpenAI-compatible endpoints in a few clicks

TRAE IDE allows you to configure custom third-party models alongside its built-in model library. By adding Cloudwise MaaS as a custom provider, you can use Cloudwise-hosted Anthropic, OpenAI-compatible, and other models directly inside TRAE's Builder and chat workflows.

TRAE — AI-Native IDE

A free AI-native IDE that automates development tasks end-to-end. Download and install TRAE before following this guide.

Prerequisites

Requirement	Details
TRAE IDE	Installed and running on your system.
Cloudwise API Key	Create or copy your API key from Cloudwise Studio.
Anthropic Endpoint	`https://api.cloudwise.ai/api/v1/messages`

Add an Anthropic-Compatible Model

Cloudwise exposes Anthropic models through a Messages API endpoint. Configure the model as shown below.

Fill in the Anthropic Model Form

In the Edit Model dialog, choose Anthropic as the provider, set the model type to Custom Model, and enter the values from the table below.

Field	Value
Provider	Anthropic

You can look up the exact model IDs available under the Anthropic section of the Cloudwise API Reference.

The Cloudwise Anthropic endpoint uses the /api/v1/messages path, matching Anthropic's native Messages API. Supported models include claude-opus-4-7, claude-opus-4-6, claude-sonnet-4.6, claude-haiku-4.5, and more.

Supported Anthropic Model IDs

Model ID	Description
`claude-opus-4-7`	Latest Claude Opus — highest capability
`claude-opus-4-7-thinking`	Extended thinking variant
`claude-opus-4-6`	Claude Opus stable release
`claude-sonnet-4.6`	Fast and balanced Claude model
`claude-haiku-4.5`	Lightweight and low-latency

Add an OpenAI-Compatible Model

For OpenAI-protocol models such as GLM, GPT, and other vendors, use the OpenAI provider with the chat completions endpoint.

Fill in the OpenAI-Compatible Model Form

Click + Add Model again. In the dialog, choose OpenAI as the provider and fill in the fields below.

Field	Value
Provider	OpenAI
Model Type	Custom Model
Model ID	`glm-5.1`
API Key	Your Cloudwise API key
Custom Request URL	`https://api.cloudwise.ai/api/v1/chat/completions`

Verify Supported GLM / OpenAI-Compatible Model IDs on Cloudwise

Browse the GLM-5.1 (or other vendor) page in the Cloudwise API Reference to confirm available model IDs and the correct endpoint path before configuring TRAE.

Any model that follows the OpenAI Chat Completions protocol can use the same /api/v1/chat/completions endpoint. This includes GLM, GPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, and many others available on Cloudwise MaaS.

Important: Use the exact Custom Request URL shown above. For Anthropic models use /api/v1/messages; for all other OpenAI-compatible models use /api/v1/chat/completions. Mixing these up will result in API errors.

Suggested OpenAI-Compatible Model IDs

Model ID	Use Case
`glm-5.1`	Zhipu's latest flagship for chat and agentic tasks
`gpt-5.4`	Advanced GPT model for complex reasoning
`gpt-5`	Balanced general-purpose coding and reasoning
`gpt-4o`	Fast multimodal interactions
`deepseek-r2`	Open-source reasoning champion

Switch Model in Builder

Once your custom models are saved, you can see all of them listed under the Custom section in the TRAE model management page.

Confirm All Custom Models Are Listed

After adding both Anthropic and OpenAI-compatible models, verify they all appear in Settings → Models under the Custom section with their toggles enabled.
