Configure hosted extraction
Point BINA at a model provider so it can propose parties, summaries and hypotheses from decision recitals.
Hosted extraction is off until you configure a provider. Without one, extraction routes return 503 with a clear message — BINA never pretends to run a model and has no automatic local fallback.
#1. Choose a provider
BINA uses the Vercel AI SDK, but the provider does not have to be Vercel. Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint works.
| Option | Set these variables |
|---|---|
| Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Ollama, vLLM, a proxy) | CLEARY_LLM_BASE_URL, CLEARY_LLM_MODEL, optional CLEARY_LLM_API_KEY |
| OpenRouter | OPENROUTER_API_KEY, CLEARY_LLM_MODEL |
| Mistral La Plateforme | MISTRAL_API_KEY, CLEARY_LLM_MODEL |
| OpenAI | OPENAI_API_KEY, CLEARY_LLM_MODEL |
| Vercel AI Gateway | AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY (or Vercel OIDC), optional CLEARY_LLM_MODEL |
With CLEARY_LLM_PROVIDER=auto (the default), BINA picks the first that is configured, in the order above. Set CLEARY_LLM_PROVIDER to force one, or to off to disable extraction.
#2. Put the keys in .env.local
Create a gitignored .env.local at the repository root on your machine:
CLEARY_LLM_PROVIDER=openrouter
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your-key-here
CLEARY_LLM_MODEL=mistralai/mistral-medium-3Or, for the gateway:
AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY=your-key-here
CLEARY_LLM_MODEL=anthropic/claude-sonnet-5.5Variables already set in the process environment take precedence over the file.
#3. Restart and confirm
Restart the API, then:
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8787/v1/radar/status | python3 -c "import json,sys;print(json.load(sys.stdin)['llm'])"llm.configured should be true. The response never contains a credential.
#Optional: use the DSPy sidecar
Set CLEARY_EXTRACTOR=dspy to run extraction through the Python DSPy sidecar (scripts/dspy_extract.py, needs pip install dspy). It applies a schema calibrated to French ADLC and Commission decisions. Every proposal still passes the same verbatim checks inside the Node process. Override with CLEARY_DSPY_MODEL, CLEARY_DSPY_API_BASE and CLEARY_DSPY_PYTHON.
