ProxyAI (JetBrains)

Connect ProxyAI to TensorX and use open-source models directly inside any JetBrains IDE — IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, and more.

---

Overview

ProxyAI is an open-source AI coding assistant for JetBrains IDEs. It provides chat, inline editing, AI commit messages, and code completions — all from a single plugin. By pointing ProxyAI's Custom OpenAI provider at TensorX, you get access to models like GLM-5.1, MiniMax M2.5, DeepSeek V3.2, and Llama without leaving your IDE.

What You Can Do

• Chat with AI about your codebase using @ context (files, folders, docs, git history)
• Inline code editing with natural language instructions
• AI-generated commit messages
• Use personas to tailor AI behaviour for different tasks

---

Prerequisites

• A JetBrains IDE (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.)
• ProxyAI plugin installed from the JetBrains Marketplace
• A TensorX API key from app.tensorx.ai

---

Setup

Step 1: Open ProxyAI Provider Settings

1. In your JetBrains IDE, go to File → Settings (or Preferences on macOS)
2. Navigate to Tools → ProxyAI → Providers → Custom OpenAI

Step 2: Configure Chat Completions

Set up the Chat Completions tab with the following:

Field	Value
URL	https://api.tensorx.ai/v1/chat/completions
API Key	Your TensorX API key

In the Headers section, ensure these are set:

Header	Value
Authorization	Bearer $CUSTOM_SERVICE_API_KEY
Content-Type	application/json

In the Body section, configure:

Property	Type	Value
model	String	z-ai/glm-5.1
messages	Placeholder	$OPENAI_MESSAGES
stream	Boolean	true
temperature	Number	0.1
max_tokens	Number	8192

Step 3: Test and Save

1. Click the Test Connection button to verify the setup
2. Click Apply or OK to save

Usage

Once configured, you can use TensorX models through ProxyAI's features:

• Chat: Open the ProxyAI tool window and start a conversation. Use @ to reference files, folders, documentation, or git history for context.
• Inline Edit: Select code, right-click, and choose ProxyAI's inline edit option to modify code with natural language.
• AI Commit Messages: When committing, click the AI icon to generate a commit message based on your staged changes.

Switching Models

To change the model, go back to Tools → ProxyAI → Providers → Custom OpenAI and update the model value in the Body section.

---

Recommended Models

Use Case	Model
General / Chat	z-ai/glm-5.1
Coding	minimax/minimax-m2.5
Reasoning	deepseek/deepseek-r1-0528
Fast responses	deepseek/deepseek-v3.2
Long context	meta-llama/llama-4-maverick

---

Note on Code Completions (Autocomplete)

ProxyAI's autocomplete feature uses fill-in-the-middle (FIM) — a specialised completion method that requires dedicated infill models. TensorX does not currently offer FIM-capable models, so autocomplete/tab completions are not supported at this time.

Chat, inline editing, and all other ProxyAI features work fully with TensorX.

---

Troubleshooting

Issue	Fix
Connection test fails	Double-check the URL ends with /v1/chat/completions (not just /v1)
"Unauthorized" error	Verify your API key is correct at app.tensorx.ai
No response	Make sure stream is set to true and messages uses the $OPENAI_MESSAGES placeholder
Model not found	Check the model name matches exactly (e.g. deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3.1, not just deepseek)
