+### ZAI provider proxy
+
+OpenCode doesn't natively support ZAI's API path format (`/api/coding/paas/v4/*`). When you select a ZAI model, `free-coding-models` automatically starts a local reverse proxy that translates OpenCode's standard `/v1/*` requests to ZAI's API. This is fully transparent -- just select a ZAI model and press Enter.
+
+**How it works:**
+1. A localhost HTTP proxy starts on a random available port
+2. OpenCode is configured with a `zai` provider pointing at `http://localhost:<port>/v1`
+3. The proxy rewrites `/v1/models` to `/api/coding/paas/v4/models` and `/v1/chat/completions` to `/api/coding/paas/v4/chat/completions`
+4. When OpenCode exits, the proxy shuts down automatically
+
+No manual configuration needed -- the proxy lifecycle is managed entirely by `free-coding-models`.

+### 📋 Config Profiles
+
+Profiles let you save and restore different TUI configurations — useful if you switch between work/personal setups, different tier preferences, or want to keep separate favorites lists.
+
+**What's stored in a profile:**
+- Favorites (starred models)
+- Sort column and direction
+- Tier filter
+- Ping interval
+- API keys
+
+**Saving a profile:**
+1. Configure the TUI the way you want (favorites, sort, tier, etc.)
+2. Press **Shift+S** — an inline prompt appears at the bottom
+3. Type a name (e.g. `work`, `fast-only`, `presentation`) and press **Enter**
+4. The profile is saved and becomes the active profile (shown as a purple badge in the header)
+
+**Switching profiles:**
+- **Shift+P** in the main table — cycles through saved profiles (or back to raw config)
+- **`--profile <name>`** — load a specific profile on startup
+
+**Managing profiles:**
+- Open Settings (**P** key) — scroll down to the **Profiles** section
+- **Enter** on a profile row to load it
+- **Backspace** on a profile row to delete it
+
+Profiles are stored inside `~/.free-coding-models.json` under the `profiles` key.
