-The OpenAI Compatible provider allows you to connect to any service that implements the OpenAI API specification, including custom deployments, alternative providers, and self-hosted models that maintain API compatibility.
+Connect to any service that implements the OpenAI API specification.
 
-## Overview
+## Configuration
 
-This flexible provider enables integration with any OpenAI-compatible API, making it easy to use custom AI deployments, alternative hosting services, or self-hosted models that follow the OpenAI API standard.
+Set these environment variables:
+- `OPENAI_LIKE_API_BASE_URL` - Your API endpoint URL
+- `OPENAI_LIKE_API_KEY` - Authentication token
+- `OPENAI_LIKE_API_MODELS` (optional) - Manual model list in format: `model1:limit;model2:limit`
