       • Add -medium suffix for medium reasoning effort (e.g.: o3-mini-medium)
       • Add -low suffix for low reasoning effort (e.g.: o3-mini-low)
    2. Claude thinking models
       • Add -thinking suffix to enable thinking mode (e.g.: claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219-thinking)
16. 🔄 Thinking-to-content functionality
17. 🔄 Model rate limiting for users
18. 🔄 Request format conversion functionality, supporting the following three format conversions:

Deployment

For detailed deployment guides, please refer to Installation Guide-Deployment Methods:

[!TIP] Latest Docker image: calciumion/new-api:latest

Multi-machine Deployment Considerations

• Environment variable SESSION_SECRET must be set, otherwise login status will be inconsistent across multiple machines
• If sharing Redis, CRYPTO_SECRET must be set, otherwise Redis content cannot be accessed across multiple machines

Deployment Requirements

• Local database (default): SQLite (Docker deployment must mount the /data directory)
• Remote database: MySQL version >= 5.7.8, PgSQL version >= 9.6

Deployment Methods

Using BaoTa Panel Docker Feature

Install BaoTa Panel (version 9.2.0 or above), find New-API in the application store and install it. Tutorial with images

Using Docker Compose (Recommended)

# Download the project
git clone https://github.com/Calcium-Ion/new-api.git
cd new-api
# Edit docker-compose.yml as needed
# Start
docker-compose up -d

Using Docker Image Directly

# Using SQLite
docker run --name new-api -d --restart always -p 3000:3000 -e TZ=Asia/Shanghai -v /home/ubuntu/data/new-api:/data calciumion/new-api:latest

# Using MySQL
docker run --name new-api -d --restart always -p 3000:3000 -e SQL_DSN="root:123456@tcp(localhost:3306)/oneapi" -e TZ=Asia/Shanghai -v /home/ubuntu/data/new-api:/data calciumion/new-api:latest

Channel Retry and Cache

Channel retry functionality has been implemented, you can set the number of retries in Settings->Operation Settings->General Settings. It is recommended to enable caching.

Cache Configuration Method

1. REDIS_CONN_STRING: Set Redis as cache
2. MEMORY_CACHE_ENABLED: Enable memory cache (no need to set manually if Redis is set)
