Trae is ByteDance’s first AI IDE. Trae comes with a set of high-performing industry models that you can switch between seamlessly. Additionally, Trae Chat mode supports integrating SiliconCloud model resources via API Key, allowing for more personalized usage.

​
Switching Models

At the bottom right of the input box, click on the current model name to open the model list, then select the model you want to use.
Each model has different capabilities. You can hover over the model name to view its supported features.

​
Adding a SiliconCloud Model

1、Go to Profile > Settings > Trae AI > Model Management. 2、Click the Add Model button.
This will open the Add Model window.
3、Select SiliconCloud as the provider.
4、Choose a Model:
￮ Select a pre-configured model from the list (all are default versions). ￮ If you wish to use a different model or a specific model version, click Use Other Model and enter the model ID in the input field. 5、Enter the API Key. Click the Get API Key button, and Trae will open the SiliconCloud API key configuration page. (If you haven’t registered/logged in, complete that step first.) On the page, create a new API Key and copy it. 6、Click the Add Model button. Trae will call the provider’s API to verify the validity of the API Key. The possible outcomes are: ￮ If the connection is successful, the custom model will be added. ￮ If the connection fails, the Add Model window will display an error message along with the provider’s error logs, which you can use to troubleshoot the issue.
