# GPT Academic Setup Guide

> Configure Crazyrouter API in GPT Academic and switch to currently verified latest models

> Дата обновления: 2026-06-06

## Overview

GPT Academic is aimed at paper polishing, translation, code explanation, and other academic workflows. When connecting it to Crazyrouter, keep its OpenAI URL redirect approach, but move the default model set to the latest options already verified in production.

## Configuration

### Edit Configuration File

Edit `config.py` or `config_private.py`:

```python theme={null}
API_KEY = "sk-xxx"
API_URL_REDIRECT = {
    "https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions": "https://api.crazyrouter.com/v1/chat/completions"
}

# Or set directly
LLM_MODEL = "gpt-5.5"
AVAIL_LLM_MODELS = [
    "gpt-5.5",
    "claude-opus-4-8",
    "gemini-3.1-pro"
]
```

### Environment Variables

```bash theme={null}
export API_KEY=sk-xxx
export API_URL_REDIRECT='{"https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions": "https://api.crazyrouter.com/v1/chat/completions"}'
export LLM_MODEL=gpt-5.5
```

### Docker Deployment

```yaml theme={null}
services:
  gpt-academic:
    image: ghcr.io/binary-husky/gpt_academic
    ports:
      - "22303:22303"
    environment:
      - API_KEY=sk-xxx
      - LLM_MODEL=gpt-5.5
      - API_URL_REDIRECT={"https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions": "https://api.crazyrouter.com/v1/chat/completions"}
```

## Recommended Models

| Scenario                                | Model             | Description                                                                                                    |
| --------------------------------------- | ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| First-pass academic workflow validation | `gpt-5.5`         | Verified successfully in Crazyrouter production on March 23, 2026, and best for the OpenAI-compatible baseline |
| Higher-quality long-form summarization  | `claude-opus-4-8` | Better for complex explanation, rewriting, and summaries                                                       |
| Gemini fallback path                    | `gemini-3.1-pro`  | Useful as a second vendor-compatible validation path                                                           |

<Note>
  GPT Academic's URL redirect feature forwards OpenAI requests directly to Crazyrouter. Start by validating one minimal session with `gpt-5.5`, then expand the model list and plugin usage gradually.
