TREE NEWS update: WorkBuddy now lets desktop users add B.AI models as custom providers through the OpenAI Chat Completions protocol, requiring a B.AI API key and the exact model ID from B.AI’s GET /v1/models endpoint. The setup runs on Windows 10+ and macOS 12.0+, and the client writes custom-model configs to a local .workbuddy/models.json file, so users must reconfigure on a new machine.
WorkBuddy Adds B.AI Custom Models via OpenAI Chat Completions
AI take
The significance here is less about B.AI itself than about protocol gravity: OpenAI's Chat Completions format keeps functioning as the default integration layer for third-party model access, even for providers positioning outside that ecosystem. The practical friction is local config — writing custom models to a machine-specific file means portability and team-wide rollout stay manual. Worth watching is whether the exact-model-ID requirement and desktop-only scope hold back adoption, or whether local config control is precisely what privacy-minded users want.
