Claude Code Extension for VS Code and Antigravity

  • Install Claude Code as shown earlier.
  • Install Claude Code Extension for VS Code

That's it.

Installing Gemini CLI

  1. Refer to the Gemini CLI installation, execution, and releases | Gemini CLI Documentation for installation.
  2. Set the below environment variables;

GOOGLE_GEMINI_BASE_URL=https://api.ultimateai.org
GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI=false
GEMINI_API_KEY=<your api key>


Failure to do this, will result in degraded performance, as Gemini client will try and connect back to Google.  MiniMax usage is not metered and supports all tool use.

 

Codex Desktop Client (same config for codex CLI)

  1. Download and Install the Codex Desktop Client
  2. Select "Enter API Key"
  3. Enter your API Key from UltimateAI (settings -> account)
  4. Add a single line to the top of your config.toml (hint: file-> settings -> open config)

Add this single line to the top of your "~/.codex/config.toml"

openai_base_url = "https://api.ultimateai.org/v1"

Start a NEW chat\window.

Note: For the first message, there may be a few re-tries while the protocol is negotiated.

Troubleshooting: If you already had Codex configured with another provider and you were not prompted for an API key, also edit "~/.codex/auth.json" then restart.

{
  "auth_mode": "apikey",
  "OPENAI_API_KEY": "<your key>"
}

Start a NEW chat\window.
