Roo Code is an AI dev team in your IDE. Configure Kyma as an OpenAI Compatible provider.

​
Setup

  1. Open Roo Code settings in VS Code
  2. Select “OpenAI Compatible” as the provider
  3. Fill in:
A new account’s signup credit is added once your email is verified and spends on free tier models only. Models outside it return 402 model_requires_paid until your first top-up.
See all model aliases for shortcuts.

​
Audio Models (optional)

Roo Code is a coding agent, but if you build voice-enabled extensions or transcript pipelines on the side, Kyma’s audio aliases drop in like any chat model:
  • transcribe → whisper-v3-turbo — 228× realtime speech-to-text
Use them via POST /v1/audio/transcriptions. Text-to-speech is documented in the Audio API reference and Model Aliases.

​
Prompt Caching

Some models cache a repeated prompt prefix. pricing.cached on /v1/models is the rate Kyma publishes for cached input on that model — usually below its input rate, but not always, so compare the two for the model you use. Every chat completion reports usage.cost, what the request was charged, and usage.cache_discount, Kyma’s figure for what caching saved on it. Whether a prefix is cached automatically or needs a cache_control marker depends on the model’s creator. See Prompt Caching for details.
