Run it on your own hardware

Weights are the sizes of the files a source lists, or an estimate from the parameter count where none does. Memory is an estimate: weights plus KV cache plus 512 MiB and 5 percent of the weights for runtime buffers. Check it against your hardware.

Start it with a local runtime

  • vLLM
    vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3-1.7B-Base
  • SGLang
    sglang serve --model-path Qwen/Qwen3-1.7B-Base --port 30000

Use it from your harness

Set up for Pioneer with the model Qwen/Qwen3-1.7B-Base. 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": {
    "pioneer": {
      "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
      "name": "Pioneer",
      "options": {
        "baseURL": "https://api.pioneer.ai/v1",
        "apiKey": "{env:PIONEER_API_KEY}"
      },
      "models": {
        "Qwen/Qwen3-1.7B-Base": {
          "name": "Qwen3-1.7B-Base"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
  • 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": {
    "pioneer": {
      "baseUrl": "https://api.pioneer.ai/v1",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "apiKey": "$PIONEER_API_KEY",
      "models": [
        {
          "id": "Qwen/Qwen3-1.7B-Base"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
  • The apiKey field can name an environment variable as $NAME.

Codex

Codex speaks only the Responses API, and Pioneer 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 Pioneer 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.
