Configure AI Models

Use model providers when you want chat over note context without giving an agent vault-write tools.

Local Models

Local model targets are for tools such as Ollama and LM Studio. They usually need a base URL and model ID, and they usually do not need an API key.

API Models

API model targets are for hosted providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, or another OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

Tolaria does not store provider API keys in vault settings. Choose one of the supported key paths:

• Save the key locally on this device.
• Read the key from an environment variable.
• Use no key for local providers that do not require one.

Test The Connection

After adding a provider, use the test action in Settings. A successful test means Tolaria reached the endpoint and the model replied.

Select The Target

Once configured, choose the model from the AI target selector or set it as the default AI target in Settings.
