Operator Notes

  • Loong’s BytePlus OpenAI-compatible path uses provider.api_key / BYTEPLUS_API_KEY and sends Authorization: Bearer <BYTEPLUS_API_KEY>; AK/SK request signing is not used on this path.
  • This is the general hosted BytePlus lane. Use byteplus_coding when coding traffic should stay on the dedicated coding route.
