Summary
PR #12046 added a significant new feature that allows users to dynamically fetch provider models using their API keys.
Feature Description
- Added support for dynamically fetching provider models from various providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama, OpenRouter, etc.)
- A refresh icon appears in the Add Model UI once an API key has been entered, allowing users to "update models list using my API key"
- Fetched models include proper context length, max tokens, and tool use capability detection
- Results are deduplicated with hardcoded models (hardcoded take precedence) and show proper provider icons
- Adds explicit support for Gemma 4 and GPT 5.4 family models
Documentation Needed
- Document the new "refresh models" button in the Add Model flow
- Explain that users can fetch available models dynamically using their API key
- Document which providers support dynamic model fetching (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama, OpenRouter)
- Note that fetched model configurations (contextLength, maxTokens, capabilities) are automatically persisted to config.yaml
