docs(pi): document local models via models.json - #141
Conversation
Covers Ollama, LM Studio, Lemonade, and llama.cpp setup for the pi agent through the persisted config mount, plus the Linux bridge-gateway binding caveat. Cross-links native local-model mechanisms from the LLM guide. Closes #139.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe documentation adds local-model configuration guidance for Pi, Tau, Jcode, and Qwen. It also provides Pi provider examples and platform-specific networking instructions for local model servers. ChangesLocal model documentation
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The setup guidance currently permits unauthenticated or overly broad network exposure for local model servers and does not establish the documented startup model, which can expose services or cause the agent to launch with an unintended model; the LM Studio example also needs the server’s actual model identifier. Merge should wait for these fixes or explicit owner acceptance. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

On Linux with Docker Engine, vp run pi creates the agent container through DockerManager.run_agent, whose high- and low-level launch paths provide no extra_hosts/host-gateway mapping; the repository's only such mapping is for the separate proxy container. Consequently host.docker.internal normally does not resolve in the Pi container, so all three documented provider URLs fail before the later server-binding caveat becomes relevant. Add the mapping to both agent-launch paths or document a Linux URL that actually resolves.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When Pi restores an existing session or has a previously saved model choice/default, that selection takes precedence; provider ordering is only relevant to the final first-available-model fallback. Consequently, adding this file does not make the first provider the startup model for existing VibePod users, who may remain on a metered remote provider despite this assurance. Document the selection precedence or direct users to save the intended local model as their default.

Users who copy this example against a normal Ollama installation cannot run either listed model: qwen3.6:35b and gemma4:12b are not published Ollama tags (the corresponding published families are Qwen 3.5 and Gemma 3). Pi accepts arbitrary IDs into its model registry, so the entries still appear in /model, but inference fails with a model-not-found response unless the user happened to create matching aliases manually. Use pullable tags or clearly mark these as placeholders.

- Around line 710-726: The Linux Docker connectivity note should add per-server
authentication and network restrictions: retain the Ollama security reference
and state that local Ollama has no built-in authentication, require LM Studio’s
Require Authentication together with Serve on Local Network, document setting
LEMONADE_API_KEY and passing its configured token through Pi’s apiKey, and
recommend the Docker host-gateway address instead of 0.0.0.0 when access is
limited to VibePod while documenting firewall restrictions.
- Around line 702-708: Update the Pi setup documentation to instruct users to
create the agent settings.json file with defaultProvider and defaultModel when
Ollama should be selected at startup; clarify that models.json only registers
providers and does not determine the startup model, while preserving the
existing model-selection guidance.

Docker Desktop resolves host.docker.internal natively, but Docker Engine on Linux and Podman need an explicit host-gateway mapping. The docs (llm.md and the pi local-models guide) document provider URLs against this hostname, which previously only resolved through the default proxy container. Add the mapping to both run_agent launch paths so the hostname works regardless of proxy configuration.
models.json provider order does not pick the startup model; Pi uses defaultModel from settings.json. Point users at /model or defaultModel so existing setups don't silently stay on a remote provider.
LM Studio network serving pairs with Require Authentication (token goes into the provider apiKey); Ollama and Lemonade have no built-in auth, so point at firewall rules for 0.0.0.0 bindings. Clarify that example model ids must match what the server exposes via /v1/models.
