Aider routes model calls through LiteLLM, so it accepts either format depending on how you name the model.

OpenAI-compatible route

export OPENAI_API_BASE="https://aiprimetech.io/v1"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-your-key"

aider --model openai/claude-sonnet-4-6

Anthropic route

export ANTHROPIC_API_BASE="https://aiprimetech.io"
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-your-key"

aider --model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6

The openai/ or anthropic/ prefix tells LiteLLM which format to speak. Get it wrong and you will see a 404 as the request goes to the endpoint that does not match the body.

      --weak-model anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5

Aider makes frequent small auxiliary calls. Sending those to Haiku instead of the main model is a meaningful saving on a long session at no quality cost.
