User reviews
The issue persists. I have created 3 different API Keys, but the extension says "the API key is invalid or check if the currently selected model is available." I have tested the 2 versions available but it didn't work yet.

我填写了API key,为何不出现对话界面呢?这是BUG吗?

Tried 3 different API Keys, yet the extension doesn't validate them, when I click on service provider, the list appears behind the extension itself so it took a while to figure that out and switching it doesn't change anything.
