Cerebras API key
Let Claspine call models hosted on Cerebras’ fast inference service.
Cerebras offers very fast responses from open models. Like the other providers, Claspine uses your key and Cerebras bills you directly.
Words you’ll see
- API key
- A long secret string that lets software use your account, like a password made for programs. Anyone who has it can spend on your account, so treat it like a password.
- Model
- The specific AI you call (for example a fast, cheap one or a larger, smarter one). Claspine’s AI Gateway lets you choose models and fall back to another if one fails.
Steps
- Sign in at cloud.cerebras.ai.
- Open API Keys and create a new key named “Claspine”.
- Copy the key. It starts with
csk-. - Open the Claspine console, choose your project and go to AI Gateway.
- Under 1. Your AI provider keys, find Cerebras (click Show all if you don’t see it) and click Add key. (The Secret Vault lists the same keys under AI Models.)
- Paste the values from the steps above and click Save key. Claspine encrypts them straight away and will only ever show the last few characters again.
- Under 2. Your AI route, choose this provider and pick a model, then save. The list comes live from your account, so you only see models you can use.
- Send a test request from your app. The usage appears on your bill at the provider, not on Claspine’s.
What goes where in Claspine
| Console field | Value |
|---|---|
| API KEY | The key you copied (starts with csk-). |
Keep it safe
- Use separate keys for testing and production so either can be switched off on its own.
Claspine stores the values encrypted, never shows them again in full, and never sends them to your app or SDK.
