# Model Provider Connection
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use this checklist when a local or API model provider does not connect.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Local Providers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For Ollama or LM Studio:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Start the local model server.
|
||
|
|
2. Confirm the base URL in Tolaria matches the server.
|
||
|
|
3. Confirm the model ID is installed and loaded by the provider.
|
||
|
|
4. Use the Settings test action again.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## API Providers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For hosted providers:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Confirm the provider kind and endpoint.
|
||
|
|
2. Confirm the model ID exists for your account.
|
||
|
|
3. Confirm the API key is saved locally or available in the configured environment variable.
|
||
|
|
4. Avoid storing secrets in the vault.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Chat Mode Boundary
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Direct model targets run in chat mode. If you need file-editing tools, use a coding agent target such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi, or Antigravity CLI.
