How to use GLM Coding Plan in exe.dev's Shellye Agent

by Ashik Nesin Ashik Nesin

Recently, I’ve been playing around with exe.dev. It’s a pretty good VM (+ sandbox) with persistent storage, etc.

And I really like their Shelley Agent

Shelley Agent is actually open source and your can install it using something like homebrew

brew install --cask boldsoftware/tap/shelley

Or direct binary itself.

And Shelley has a way to add custom LLM as well.

How to configure custom LLM?

Head over to Shelley. It’ll be usually https://your-vm-name.shelley.exe.dev

Make sure to configure Image input support as false.

Once that is done, you can test it to make sure the connection is done properly and save it.
