and reminded every 5 turns past it, but never stopped.

[Vercel AI Gateway](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway) provides access to 100+ models from multiple providers through one OpenAI-compatible API.
[Vercel AI Gateway](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway) provides an OpenAI-compatible API for models from multiple providers.
## Setup
Create an [AI Gateway API key](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/authentication-and-byok), then configure Strix:
```bash
export STRIX_LLM="vercel_ai_gateway/zai/glm-5.3"
export STRIX_LLM="openai/anthropic/claude-opus-5"
export LLM_API_KEY="your-ai-gateway-api-key"
export LLM_API_BASE="https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/v1"
```
The `vercel_ai_gateway/` prefix selects the Gateway. The remaining value is the [AI Gateway model ID](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/models-and-providers).
The first `openai/` segment tells Strix to use its OpenAI-compatible client. The remaining value is the [AI Gateway model ID](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/models-and-providers).
## Available Models
Access any model on the Gateway using the format `vercel_ai_gateway/<provider>/<model>`:
| Model | Configuration |
|-------|---------------|
| GLM-5.3 (recommended) | `vercel_ai_gateway/zai/glm-5.3` |

| GPT-6 Astra | `vercel_ai_gateway/openai/gpt-6-astra` |

| Kimi K3.1 Pro | `vercel_ai_gateway/moonshotai/kimi-k3.1-pro` |
| GLM-5.3 Flash | `vercel_ai_gateway/zai/glm-5.3-flash` |
OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini models keep their provider safeguards on the Gateway. Security testing with them needs [Daybreak](https://openai.com/daybreak/), [CVP](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/14604842-cyber-verification-program) or [Fairwind](https://deepmind.google/fairwind-program/) access.
The full list is at the [AI Gateway models page](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models) or the models endpoint:
Use any language model returned by the AI Gateway models endpoint:
```text
https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/v1/models
```
Prefix its model ID with `openai/` when setting `STRIX_LLM`. For example, the Gateway model ID `anthropic/claude-opus-5` becomes `openai/anthropic/claude-opus-5` in Strix.

Notes:
- In CI/headless runs Strix automatically scopes to the PR's changed files (`--scope-mode auto`). If diff resolution fails, keep `fetch-depth: 0` or set `--diff-base` to the PR's actual base branch — use `origin/${{ github.base_ref }}` in GitHub Actions rather than a hard-coded `origin/main`, since repos use different default branches.

AUTONOMOUS BEHAVIOR:
@@ -59,9 +55,6 @@ AUTONOMOUS BEHAVIOR:
- There is no user attached to this run, so there is nobody to ask and nothing to yield to. If there is nothing left to execute: do NOT send filler/repetitive text — either call wait_for_agents (only if you are genuinely expecting another agent to message you) or finish your work (subagents: agent_finish; root: finish_scan)
- While the agent loop is running, almost every output MUST be a tool call. Do NOT send plain text messages; act via tools. If waiting on another agent, use wait_for_agents; when done, use agent_finish (subagents) or finish_scan (root)
- A text-only turn does nothing: it neither ends the run nor yields — it just wastes a turn and forces a retry. The lifecycle tools (``finish_scan`` for root, ``agent_finish`` for subagents) are the ONLY way to terminate, and the report flows through them. If you find yourself wanting to say "Done!" or "Scan complete" without a tool call, call the lifecycle tool instead.
{%- if parallel_tool_calls %}
- Read-only calls can go together in one turn: when several file reads or searches don't depend on each other's output, issue them as separate tool calls in the same turn rather than one per turn. Anything else — writing files, running commands that change state, sending requests, creating or messaging agents, reporting, or finishing — goes alone in its own turn.
