Connection failed

Error

Connection error.
500 Response timeout

Why this happens

The LLM endpoint is unreachable or didn't respond in time.

Fix

For cloud providers

1. Check your internet connection
2. Check the provider's status page:
   • OpenAI: status.openai.com
   • Anthropic: status.anthropic.com
3. If behind a corporate proxy/VPN, ensure the provider's API domain isn't blocked
4. Retry — transient network failures are common

For local models (Ollama, vLLM, LM Studio)

1. Verify the server is running:

   # Ollama
   ollama serve
   
   # Check if responding
   curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags

2. Check the correct port in settings matches what the server is listening on
3. If using Docker: ensure port mapping is correct
4. Check GPU memory — if exhausted, the server may hang:

   nvidia-smi

For Free Models

If free.neuralinverse.com is timing out:

• Retry in a few seconds (server may be under load)
• Switch to a different free model (some may be less loaded)
• Check Neural Inverse status for outage announcements
