Profiles & Failover

A profile is an ordered list of providers for failover. When the first provider is unavailable, it automatically switches to the next one.

Configuration Example

{
"profiles": {
"default": {
"providers": ["anthropic-main", "anthropic-backup"]
},
"work": {
"providers": ["company-api"],
"routing": {
"think": {"providers": [{"name": "thinking-api"}]}
}
}
}
}

Using Profiles

# Use default profile
zen

# Use specified profile
zen -p work

# Interactively select
zen -p
