Add Cheaper Inference as an LLM provider option.

Cheaper Inference is an OpenAI-compatible LLM gateway.
It serves models from multiple labs through one endpoint.

Cheaper Inference is one of the fastest-growing AI routers.
Each model costs 15–60% less than the list price of its lab.

Strix reaches it with the openai/ prefix and LLM_API_BASE.
No code change is needed.
This adds a provider page, an overview card, and a nav entry.

It follows the pattern of #1254.

Details

Changed files:

  • docs/llm-providers/cheaperinference.mdx (new guide)
  • docs/llm-providers/overview.mdx (overview card)
  • docs/docs.json (nav entry in "LLM Providers")

Setup shown in the guide:

export STRIX_LLM="openai/gpt-5.4-mini"
export LLM_API_KEY="ci_live_..."
export LLM_API_BASE="https://api.cheaperinference.com/v1"

Checks:

  • docs.json parses as valid JSON.
  • I checked the API with a live key: model list, chat, streaming, tool calls and JSON schema output with gpt-5.4-mini.
  • No trailing whitespace; files end with a newline.
  • Docs only. No Python changed, so make check-all does not apply.

Added a new card for 'Cheaper Inference' with a description.
Added documentation for configuring Strix with Cheaper Inference models, including setup instructions and available models.
