Tavo setup

Tavo, the roleplay app for phones, takes any API that speaks OpenAI’s protocol. Add nokeep as a new connection and your characters run on an uncensored model.

Checked 29 October 2026

The values

API Base URL
https://nokeep.ai/v1
API key
sk-nokeep-test to test, then your own sk-nokeep-… key
Model
deepseek-v4.1-flash-uncensored

Start with the free test key: it answers one fixed line, which proves the setup is right without spending anything. Then paste your own key from the console. deepseek-v4.1-flash-uncensored for most chats and pictures, or glm-5.3-flash-uncensored for text at under half the price.

Connect

  1. Tap the button in the top left corner, then API Connections, then New Connection.
  2. Set Model Platform to Custom (OpenAI Protocol).
  3. Paste sk-nokeep-test as the API Key.
  4. Paste https://nokeep.ai/v1 as the API Base URL. Stop at /v1.
  5. Type deepseek-v4.1-flash-uncensored as the Model Name, exactly as written.
  6. Save, and set the connection as your default.
  7. Send a message to a character. A reply that starts “Connected to” means the setup works.
  8. Edit the connection and swap in your own key from the console.

Tavo wants the base URL. If a call fails with 404, check the URL ends in /v1, not /chat/completions.

Settings worth knowing

  • Tavo calls the API straight from your phone. Your chats stay in the app; we keep one row of counts per call, never the words.
  • DeepSeek answers at once unless asked to think, so a short reply length still gets a whole paragraph back.
  • DeepSeek takes temperature and the other samplers. Good starting values are on Samplers for fiction.
  • Phone data is fine: a reply is a few kilobytes, streamed as it is written.

If it doesn’t connect

The app showsFix
401The key is wrong or revoked. Paste it again, with no spaces or quotes.
404The URL is missing /v1 or has the path twice. Use https://nokeep.ai/v1.
402Your account is out of bought credits. Top up in the console, from $5.
429Over 120 requests a minute, or the key’s daily cap. Raise the cap in the console, or wait.
503The model is busy. Send again in a few seconds; nothing was charged.
The fixed test lineThe setup works. Swap in your own key to get real replies.

Every error is listed with its fix in Errors.

What an evening costs

At 3,000 tokens in and 250 out a reply, $5 is about 2,700+ replies on DeepSeek, or 6,500+ replies on GLM. A longer character card or a longer chat history costs more per reply, since the whole history is sent each time. Work out your own.

Questions

Do I need a jailbreak prompt in Tavo?

No. Both models have their refusals removed from the weights, so characters stay in character without one.

Can I use GLM instead?

Yes: type glm-5.3-flash-uncensored as the Model Name. It costs under half as much per token, reads text only, and thinks briefly before each reply.
