+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
