 # @shipi18n/cli
 
+## 2.5.0
+
+- New: `--base-url <url>` on `translate` and `check` — run against any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
+  with `-p openai`: Ollama (`http://localhost:11434/v1`, no API key at all), Gemini's compatibility
+  endpoint, Groq, LM Studio, vLLM. Makes the API key optional; the judge's published accuracy was
+  measured on `claude-haiku-4-5`, so run `evals/semantic/run.mjs` before trusting a different judge.
+- Guard: `--base-url` without `-p openai` is an explicit error rather than a silent provider switch.
+
 ## 2.4.0
 
 - Fix: `check --semantic` explains a `judged 0`. When every translated key has a structural error

 Set `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` (default provider) or use `-p openai` with `OPENAI_API_KEY`. Your keys, your
 models — nothing is sent to a Shipi18n server. Built on [`@shipi18n/core`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@shipi18n/core).
 
+`--base-url` points the OpenAI provider at **any OpenAI-compatible endpoint**: Ollama
+(`http://localhost:11434/v1` — no key needed, fully offline), Gemini's compatibility endpoint, Groq,
+Mistral, LM Studio, vLLM, or a corporate gateway. It works for `translate` and for the
+`check --semantic` judge alike — pass `--model` for the model that server actually hosts. The judge's
+published accuracy numbers were measured on `claude-haiku-4-5`; before trusting a different judge
+model, run the eval harness in the repo (`evals/semantic/run.mjs`) against it.
