No source lists weight files or a parameter count for this model, so its memory needs are Unknown.
Use it from your harness
Set up for Google Gemini API with the model gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview. Each endpoint page has the same setup for its own address.
OpenCode
Put this in opencode.json in your project folder:
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
"provider": {
"google": {
"npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
"name": "Google Gemini API",
"options": {
"baseURL": "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/openai",
"apiKey": "{env:GEMINI_API_KEY}"
},
"models": {
"gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview": {
"name": "Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Preview",
"limit": {
"context": 1048576,
"output": 65536
}
}
}
}
}
}- OpenCode reads any OpenAI-compatible address through the @ai-sdk/openai-compatible package, and an address that speaks the Responses API through @ai-sdk/openai.

Pi
Put this in ~/.pi/agent/models.json:
{
"providers": {
"google": {
"baseUrl": "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/openai",
"api": "openai-completions",
"apiKey": "$GEMINI_API_KEY",
"models": [
{
"id": "gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview"
}
]
}
}
}- The apiKey field can name an environment variable as $NAME.

Codex
Codex speaks only the Responses API, and Google Gemini API documents no Responses address. A gateway that offers one can sit in between.
- Codex speaks the Responses API only: responses is the one supported wire API of a custom provider. Ollama and LM Studio are built in and start with --oss.
From Codex documentation, read .
Claude Code
Claude Code sends Anthropic Messages requests, and Google Gemini API documents no such address. A gateway that translates to that API can sit in between.
- Claude Code sends Anthropic Messages requests to ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL. Anthropic says it does not support routing Claude Code to models other than Claude through any gateway, so some features may not work with another model.
