# NEAR AI Cloud
TEE-backed private inference through NEAR AI Cloud's OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API.
## Configuration
```bash
NEARAI_API_KEY=your-api-key
```
Or programmatically:
```elixir
ReqLLM.put_key(:nearai_api_key, "your-api-key")
```
## Model Specs
NEAR AI Cloud model IDs use provider-style paths such as `anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5`.
Use the public catalog endpoint to inspect currently available models:
```bash
curl https://cloud-api.near.ai/v1/model/list
```
Then call a model with the `nearai:` prefix:
```elixir
ReqLLM.generate_text(
"nearai:anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5",
"Hello!"
)
```
If a model is not in the shared registry yet, a full explicit model spec also works:
```elixir
model =
ReqLLM.model!(%{
provider: :nearai,
id: "openai/gpt-5.4-mini",
base_url: "https://cloud-api.near.ai/v1"
})
ReqLLM.generate_text(model, "Hello!")
```
## Compatibility Notes
NEAR AI Cloud uses the standard OpenAI Chat Completions request shape with Bearer token auth.
ReqLLM sends chat requests to `https://cloud-api.near.ai/v1/chat/completions`.
The provider translates `max_completion_tokens` to `max_tokens` because NEAR AI Cloud expects
the Chat Completions token limit field. Unsupported reasoning options are removed before the
request is sent, and strict tool schemas are sent without OpenAI's `strict` marker.
Streaming uses the same OpenAI-compatible SSE handling as other compatible providers.
## TEE Metadata
The model catalog includes per-model metadata such as `verifiable` and `attestationSupported`.
Use those fields when you need to distinguish TEE-verifiable models from proxied external models.
