The scan feature searches for available AI models for your configured provider

> **Note:** Results depend on your API key permissions. The provider must support the OpenAI API format.

### Key Points

- Only public models are shown by default
- Try again if no models are found

### Model Tiers

Not all models are suitable for every task:

- **Nano** - Fastest, good for simple tasks like translations
- **Mini** - Balanced speed and capability
- **Small** - Good for most tasks
- **Medium** - More capable, recommended for execise and vocabulary generation
- **Large** - Most capable, mostly paid, best results

## Tips for Success

1. **Verify your API key** is active and has correct permissions
2. Choose a capable model that supports text generation
3. For local providers, make sure your connection and endponts are set up correctly

## Can't Find Your Model?

If your model doesn't appear in the scan results:

1. Check if the model is running locally or accessible via API
2. Verify network connectivity
3. Try adding it manually by entering the model details

>  Check the logs in case of validation error
