LLM Selection

Purpose

LLM Selection chooses the language model provider or model profile used by YaCy's AI and retrieval features.

Use it before RAG or AI analysis work so later pages know which model endpoint and capability profile to use.

What You Can Do Here

• Choose the LLM service family YaCy should use for AI-assisted workflows.
• Set the host or endpoint stub so later RAG and AI pages know where to send model requests.
• Verify the selected service before troubleshooting model-assisted answers elsewhere.

Page Architecture

The page chooses an LLM service family and base host for model-assisted features. service selects the integration style, for example Ollama, LM Studio, OpenAI, or Open Router. hoststub points YaCy at the local or remote API base that will receive model requests.

Correct Use

Select the service that matches the running model endpoint. For local tools such as Ollama or LM Studio, verify the local server URL first. For hosted services, treat API keys and host settings as sensitive operational configuration.

Access And Safety

Administrator access is required. YaCy protects _p pages as administration pages.

Protected related endpoint(s): /LLMSelection_p.html.

Automation And API

Page backend: source/net/yacy/htroot/LLMSelection_p.java.

Endpoint	Method	Access	Backend
/LLMSelection_p.html	GET	admin	source/net/yacy/htroot/LLMSelection_p.java

Parameter Guide

The table explains values that an agent or script must set deliberately. Parameters not relevant to a task should be omitted or left at the page default. Low-level generated parameters are omitted when they are only meaningful inside the rendered YaCy form.

Parameter	Meaning and valid values	Care
service	Choice value. Options: OLLAMA = Ollama, LMSTUDIO = LMStudio, OPENAI = OpenAI, OPENROUTER = Open Router.	Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default.
hoststub	Host or domain scope.	Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default.

Example request shape:

GET /LLMSelection_p.html?service=...&hoststub=...&apikey=...&llmselection=...&BODY=...

What To Expect

After saving, RAG and AI analysis pages should use the selected provider profile. Model failures after this point usually mean the model server, API key, host URL, or model name needs checking.
