# Troubleshooting

Use this checklist when a Kimi K3 request through lizh.ai fails.

## Authentication error

Check that the API key is set in the same shell where you run your command:

```bash
echo "$LIZH_API_KEY"
```

If it is empty, create or copy a key from <https://lizh.ai/keys>.

## Model error

Confirm the model name:

```
kimi-k3
```

Check current model availability at <https://lizh.ai/pricing>.

## Endpoint error

Confirm the base URL:

```
https://lizh.ai/v1
```

The chat completions endpoint is:

```
https://lizh.ai/v1/chat/completions
```

## Tool configuration error

If Cursor, Hermes, OpenClaw, or another tool fails:

* choose an OpenAI-compatible provider,
* set the custom base URL to `https://lizh.ai/v1`,
* use your lizh.ai API key,
* set the model to `kimi-k3`,
* test with a short prompt first.

## Official model reference

For official Kimi model behavior and provider-specific features, read the Kimi documentation:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://gitbook.lizh.ai/troubleshooting.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
