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.

Use it from your harness
Set up for DeepInfra with the model Qwen/Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B-Instruct. Each endpoint page has the same setup for its own address.
OpenCode
Put this in opencode.json in your project folder:
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
"provider": {
"deepinfra": {
"npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
"name": "DeepInfra",
"options": {
"baseURL": "https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/openai",
"apiKey": "{env:DEEPINFRA_TOKEN}"
},
"models": {
"Qwen/Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B-Instruct": {
"name": "Qwen3 Next 80B A3B Instruct",
"limit": {
"context": 262144,
"output": 235929
}
}
}
}
}
}- OpenCode reads any OpenAI-compatible address through the @ai-sdk/openai-compatible package, and an address that speaks the Responses API through @ai-sdk/openai.
From OpenCode documentation, read .
Pi
Put this in ~/.pi/agent/models.json:
{
"providers": {
"deepinfra": {
"baseUrl": "https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/openai",
"api": "openai-completions",
"apiKey": "$DEEPINFRA_TOKEN",
"models": [
{
"id": "Qwen/Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B-Instruct"
}
]
}
}
}- The apiKey field can name an environment variable as $NAME.
From Pi documentation, read .
Codex
Codex speaks only the Responses API, and DeepInfra documents no Responses address. A gateway that offers one can sit in between.
- Codex speaks the Responses API only: responses is the one supported wire API of a custom provider. Ollama and LM Studio are built in and start with --oss.
From Codex documentation, read .
Claude Code
Put this in ~/.claude/settings.json, or variables in your shell:
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.deepinfra.com/anthropic"
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="$DEEPINFRA_TOKEN"
export ANTHROPIC_MODEL="Qwen/Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B-Instruct"
claude- 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.
From Claude Code documentation, read .
