FAQ
Installation and Login
Check Installation and the current release for platform requirements. For login problems, check connectivity, captcha and service status. Session renewal depends on valid tokens, device authorization and service availability; restarting does not guarantee that login will never be required. See Register and Login.
Models and Credits
Which models are available?
The server database maintains a dynamic catalog. Models, channels and permissions depend on your current account; no fixed count or model version is guaranteed. See Models.
How are plans billed?
Free includes 500 credits monthly. Pro is ¥99/month with 4000 credits, Plus ¥499/month with 20000 credits, and Ultra ¥999/month with 40000 credits. The current paid billing period is monthly. Hosted requests are metered by actual model usage, with normal dual-pool deduction consuming purchased credits before plan credits. Plan credits refresh lazily when credits_reset_at is due and the subscription remains active within its service period: a status read or billing request resets the pool to the monthly allowance. The next time is the earlier of now plus 31 days and the service-period end. Unused plan credits do not accumulate monthly. Free also has onboarding and device-period checks; the independent purchased pool is not cleared by plan refresh. Check the member center for balances and upgrade rules. See Plans and Credits.
Can I bring a provider key?
Configure a provider key subject to its billing and data policies. Never share credentials. Local configuration and cloud model connections use different storage paths; check which route you use. See BYOK.
Projects and Features
How do I migrate from VS Code or Cursor?
Open the existing project manually and configure themes, shortcuts and settings. Install language servers, runtimes and debug adapters yourself. Extensions and launch.json are not guaranteed to be compatible; automatic import is not promised. See Manual Migration.
How do I start RUSH or inline editing?
Open RUSH through the AI panel, review and approve the plan before execution. Verification includes V1 static checks, V2 unit tests and conditional V3 integration tests. Consult Shortcuts and the current client for inline editing and other bindings.
Data and Kernel
Can code leave my device?
Project tools primarily run locally, but model requests send selected context to the configured service. Hosted requests pass through a gateway and third-party providers process the data. Exclusion rules do not replace reviewing context before sending. Do not attach secrets or unauthorized data; code is not guaranteed to stay on the device. See Configuration.
How do I find the local API address?
The default binding is loopback, with optional LAN access. Ports are dynamic: read the actual connection information instead of hardcoding 3721. LAN mode requires authentication and network access controls; do not expose it publicly. See Kernel API.
Where is global data stored?
LINGXIZHI_HOME takes precedence; otherwise the kernel uses data beside its executable. A local PTY is not strong isolation. Check permissions and back up projects before executing commands.
