Get an API key
Create a key from Baseten API key settings. Use a key from the workspace that has access to the models you plan to enable.Configuration
Add Baseten in Settings > Models and paste the key, or configure:baseten/ prefix. Enable only models available to the key’s workspace and set
the coding and specialized role mappings you want.
Cost behavior
Baseten billing depends on the model endpoint and whether it uses serverless or dedicated deployment capacity. Roomote records model usage and estimates costs when catalog pricing is available, but the Baseten workspace bill is authoritative. See Baseten pricing for current compute and inference terms.Verify setup
- save
BASETEN_API_KEY - confirm Baseten models appear in Settings > Models
- enable one model and assign it as the coding model
- run a small task and confirm the request appears in Baseten observability
Common issues
- Authentication fails. Confirm the key is active and belongs to the intended Baseten workspace.
- A model cannot run. Verify that the workspace can access that foundation model or deployment and refresh Roomote’s model metadata.
- Cold requests are slow. Check the endpoint’s autoscaling and minimum replica settings in Baseten; Roomote does not control model replicas.
