Context

Although it's OpenAI compatible, I wanted to add it to the list to give the company some visibility. I'm not afiliated in any way to them, but I think it's important to have models running on 100% green energy at hand.

Implementation

Just followed the patterns for similar providers. Kilo Code did all the heavy lifting:

Nscale Provider Implementation Complete ✅
