When does this happen?

IF A cloud inference service with an OpenAI-compatible API is not recognized as a built-in provider, forcing users to configure it via `custom_providers` and duplicate base URL and API key in every auxiliary task.

How others solved it

THEN Add the service to the PROVIDER_REGISTRY with its API base URL, authentication type (api_key), and environment variable name(s) for the key. Also set a default auxiliary model for the provider. This allows users to specify the provider by simple name and set API key via a single environment variable, eliminating redundant configuration.

"ollama-cloud": ProviderConfig(
    id="ollama-cloud",
    name="Ollama Cloud",
    auth_type="api_key",
    inference_base_url="https://ollama.com/v1",
    api_key_env_vars=("OLLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY",),
)
