Connect Trae AI Code Editor to the KiosAPI Gateway

Configure ByteDance’s Trae AI code editor to use KiosAPI as a custom provider, replacing the default backend with KiosAPI’s OpenAI-compatible gateway.

Trae is an AI-powered code editor from ByteDance. Because it supports OpenAI-compatible providers, you can point it directly at KiosAPI — giving you access to the full range of models available through KiosAPI’s unified gateway. This tutorial walks you through the configuration steps.
