1. Choose a model family
| Need | Provider style | Base URL | Default model |
| GPT series | OpenAI-compatible | https://api.synterolink.com/v1 | gpt-5.4 |
| Claude series | Anthropic-compatible | https://api.synterolink.com | claude-sonnet-4-6 |
2. GPT minimal check

curl https://api.synterolink.com/v1/models \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY"
curl https://api.synterolink.com/v1/responses \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
