kagi assistant --model <llm-slug> rejects underlying LLMs #111

Description

@adrianipopescu

kagi assistant --model gpt-5-5 "hi" returns 400 Unsupported model. Only built-in profiles (ki_quick, ki_research, ki_deep_research) and existing custom-assistant names are accepted.

To actually talk to any of the ~30 underlying LLMs you have to kagi assistant custom create --name X --model gpt-5-5 first, which leaves a persistent assistant in the account.

Either:

  • (a) accept underlying slugs directly, create+delete an ephemeral assistant server-side
  • (b) add --once: kagi assistant --once --model gpt-5-5 "prompt" that handles the lifecycle

This is the single biggest source of complexity in any kagi-cli wrapper. My proxy has a fuzzed-TTL sweep entirely to manage these custom assistants — would delete most of it.
