Paste $CONIFER_API_KEY in Zed’s provider UI / keychain for the conifer provider. It does not go in settings.json. Pick claude-haiku-4-5 in the Assistant panel.

Against a local model

conifer serve --model <model-name>

Set that same api_url to http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1. Use the installed model’s name. Loopback accepts any non-empty key in the provider UI.
