    Sorry you're hitting this! The screenshot shows a timeout but I can't read the full error from it. A timeout after the key validates almost always means the request reaches the network but the endpoint never answers — usually one of:

    1. Wrong baseUrl for the provider (e.g. missing the /v1 suffix, or a region-specific host). This is the most common cause.
    2. A slow/unavailable model — e.g. a custom/OpenAI-compatible or local endpoint that accepts the connection but stalls.
    3. A proxy/firewall silently dropping the outbound HTTPS request.

    To let me pin it down, could you share:

    • your llm.provider and the baseUrl/model you set (redact the key),
    • the full error text (the line under the traceback, not just "timeout"),
    • and pythonclaw --version (please try 0.7.2, just released — it improved timeout handling and error messages).

    If you're on a local/custom endpoint, a quick curl $BASEURL/models from the same machine confirms whether it's reachable at all.
