Genesis includes a bundled StepFun provider plugin with two provider ids:
stepfunfor the standard endpointstepfun-planfor the Step Plan endpoint
Standard and Step Plan are **separate providers** with different endpoints and model ref prefixes (`stepfun/...` vs `stepfun-plan/...`). Use a China key with the `.com` endpoints and a global key with the `.ai` endpoints.

Getting started
Choose your provider surface and follow the setup steps.
Standard
**Best for:** general-purpose use via the standard StepFun endpoint.
Choose your endpoint region
| Auth choice | Endpoint | Region |
| -------------------------------- | -------------------------------- | ------------- |
| `stepfun-standard-api-key-intl` | `https://api.stepfun.ai/v1` | International |
| `stepfun-standard-api-key-cn` | `https://api.stepfun.com/v1` | China |
Run onboarding
```bash
genesis onboard --auth-choice stepfun-standard-api-key-intl
```
Or for the China endpoint:
```bash
genesis onboard --auth-choice stepfun-standard-api-key-cn
```
Non-interactive alternative
```bash
genesis onboard --auth-choice stepfun-standard-api-key-intl \
--stepfun-api-key "$STEPFUN_API_KEY"
```
Verify models are available
```bash
genesis models list --provider stepfun
```
### Model refs
- Default model: `stepfun/step-3.5-flash`

},
}
```
Notes
- The provider is bundled with Genesis, so there is no separate plugin install step.
- `step-3.5-flash-2603` is currently exposed only on `stepfun-plan`.
- A single auth flow writes region-matched profiles for both `stepfun` and `stepfun-plan`, so both surfaces can be discovered together.
- Use `genesis models list` and `genesis models set <provider/model>` to inspect or switch models.
For the broader provider overview, see [Model providers](/concepts/model-providers).
