Troubleshooting

Use this checklist when a Kimi K3 request through lizh.ai fails.

Authentication error

Check that the API key is set in the same shell where you run your command:

echo "$LIZH_API_KEY"

If it is empty, create or copy a key from https://lizh.ai/keys.

Model error

Confirm the model name:

kimi-k3

Check current model availability at https://lizh.ai/pricing.

Endpoint error

Confirm the base URL:

https://lizh.ai/v1

The chat completions endpoint is:

https://lizh.ai/v1/chat/completions

Tool configuration error

If Cursor, Hermes, OpenClaw, or another tool fails:

  • choose an OpenAI-compatible provider,
  • set the custom base URL to https://lizh.ai/v1,
  • use your lizh.ai API key,
  • set the model to kimi-k3,
  • test with a short prompt first.
