🚀 Prerequisites

Before we dive in, make sure you have:

  • Dify installed or deployed

  • An HPC-AI Tech API Key (from the Model APIs platform)

🛠️ Configuration: Choose Your Method

Dify offers multiple ways to configure model providers depending on your workflow. Pick what suits you best.

Method 1: Interactive Configuration (Recommended)

Best for developers using the Dify web interface.

Log in to Dify.

Navigate to Settings → Model Provider.

Add a new OpenAI-Compatible provider.

Enter the following:

Base URL

https://api.hpc-ai.com/inference/v1

API Key

your-hpc-ai-api-key

Select the model:

minimax/minimax-m2.5

(You can replace this with any model available on the HPC-AI Tech Model APIs platform.)

Save the provider and use it when creating applications.

Method 2: Config File (The Structured Way)

Best for self-hosted deployments and automation.

Configure your model provider:

provider: openai-compatible
base_url: https://api.hpc-ai.com/inference/v1
api_key: ${HPC_AI_API_KEY}
model: minimax/minimax-m2.5

Store API credentials using environment variables whenever possible.

Method 3: Environment Variables (The Lightweight Way)

Best for Docker deployments or CI/CD pipelines.

export HPC_AI_API_KEY="sk-your-hpc-ai-api-key"
export OPENAI_API_BASE="https://api.hpc-ai.com/inference/v1"

Restart Dify and select:

minimax/minimax-m2.5

as the default model.

✅ Verifying the Connection

After configuration, it's important to confirm everything is working correctly.

  • Create a test application or chatbot

  • Send a sample prompt

  • Ensure responses are returned successfully from the model

A successful response confirms:

  • Your API key is valid

  • The endpoint is reachable

  • The model is correctly configured

🎯 Summary

By integrating Dify with HPC-AI Tech, you unlock:

  • Access to multiple leading AI models

  • OpenAI-compatible APIs

  • Cost-efficient inference

  • Flexible AI application development

  • Production-ready infrastructure

Whether you're building chatbots, AI assistants, RAG systems, or enterprise applications, HPC-AI Tech provides the performance and flexibility needed to bring your ideas to life.

Happy building!
