Cherry Studio

Verify Yolo Router first

Before configuring Cherry Studio, verify that the endpoint, API Key, and model ID work.

export YOLOROUTER_API_KEY="sk-yolo-..."

curl https://api.yolorouter.com/v1/models \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $YOLOROUTER_API_KEY"

$env:YOLOROUTER_API_KEY = "sk-yolo-..."

curl.exe https://api.yolorouter.com/v1/models `
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $env:YOLOROUTER_API_KEY"

If the model list is returned, confirm that the model ID you plan to add to Cherry Studio exists, for example deepseek-v4-pro.

Add a custom provider

Open Cherry Studio and go to:

Settings > Model Services

Click + Add, create a custom provider, and enter:

• Provider Name: for example Yolo Router
• Provider Type: select OpenAI

Save it, then find the new Yolo Router provider in the model services list.

Enter the API Key and API address

In the Yolo Router provider configuration, enter your API Key:

sk-yolo-...

Choose the API address format based on your Cherry Studio version:

• If the field is API Address and Cherry Studio automatically appends /v1/chat/completions, enter the root address: https://api.yolorouter.com
• If the field is Base URL or OpenAI Compatible Base URL, enter the full OpenAI-compatible address: https://api.yolorouter.com/v1

Do not enter /chat/completions unless your Cherry Studio version explicitly asks for a full request URL and supports using # to disable automatic path appending.

Add the model

In the provider configuration, click Manage or + Add, then add the model ID you want to use:

deepseek-v4-pro

The model ID must exactly match the model ID in the Yolo Router console. After adding it, confirm that it appears in the provider's model list.

Check and enable the provider

Click the Check button next to the API Key to verify the connection.

After the check succeeds, turn on the provider switch in the top-right corner. If the provider is disabled, Cherry Studio may not show the provider or its models in the chat model list.

Test in chat

Return to the chat page, select the Yolo Router provider and the model you added, then send a test prompt:

Introduce the model you are using in one sentence.

If Cherry Studio returns a normal response, the integration is working. You can also check the Yolo Router console for the corresponding request log.
