The OttoPort model ID for Voyage 4 Lite is voyage-4-lite. Pass it as the model field on POST https://ottoport.ai/api/v1/embeddings, or list it programmatically from GET https://ottoport.ai/api/v1/models.

Can I call Voyage 4 Lite with the OpenAI SDK?

Yes. Set the OpenAI SDK's base URL to https://ottoport.ai/api/v1, use an OttoPort API key, and pass voyage-4-lite as the model. Embeddings follow the OpenAI embeddings shape, so existing code works after changing two lines.
