Left sidebar not showing AI extra models

[reakjra]

Step 1. Before you submit

• I have read the Troubleshooting and Usage pages.
• I've successfully updated to the latest version following the guidance.
• I've successfully updated the system packages to the latest.
• I've ticked the checkboxes without reading their contents

Step 2. Quick diagnose info

Quick diagnose

<!-- Run `./diagnose` inside the repo, and paste the result here! -->

Step 3. Describe the issue

I'm genuinely not sure if it's a problem of mine but it seems that in the AI model selection it wont show any model written in ~/.config/illogical-impulse/config.json, neither the example one. Is it due something I don't know or?

Reminder

• I agree that it's usually impossible for others to help me without my logs.

I have similar problem. I tried to solve it radically).

In quickshell configs I found this file: ~/.config/quickshell/ii/services/Ai.qml.

On line 257, there's a list of default models. So, editing this list solved this problem.

What did you edit? My models stopped showing up after installing ollama on my machine.

@fuzi0nz I added new elemet to array. But I tried to change fields in default list, changes applied.

Hello, I think we had the same issue. I couldn’t see or get the AI model/function to work on the left panel.

For me, in the config file ~/.config/illogical-impulse/config.json, on line 328, I set the AI policies to 1 (and disable the weeb mod lol) and then restarted the plugin. All the models appeared. After that, I just had to set the key with /key and it worked.

The interface does not refresh, and pick it up.
