# Overview

Use Kimi K3 through an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint with `https://lizh.ai/v1`.

This guide shows practical setup paths for Python, Node.js, cURL, Cursor, Hermes, and OpenClaw. It is designed for developers who want to test Kimi K3 without changing the API shape used by OpenAI-compatible tools.

> lizh.ai is an independent OpenAI-compatible API gateway. It is not the official Moonshot AI or Kimi API website.
