Failed to initialize SDK: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY must be set for Anthropic provider

What's Not Working?

Hi,

I would like to make a try using only Opencode with its free LLMs (Big pickle and Grok code fast1)

Unfortunately, OpenCode does not provide API keys for these free LLMs.

Does this mean that Hephaestus is not yet compatible with a "no API key" mode?

Setup Stage

Initial installation (pip install)

Steps You've Taken

./run_hephaestus_dev.py

Error Message

Environment Details

Fedora 43

Relevant Configuration

Checklist

• I've followed the Quick Start guide
• I've checked my API keys are valid
• I've verified required services are running (Docker, Qdrant)
• I've searched existing issues

Hey, sorry about the delay!
You can work without any API Key, but it means that the guardian steering won't work since it needs an API connection.
You can set OpenCode with any model that OpenCode supports, check out this doc on how to set it up
