​
What you saw

Earlier versions word it: “You’re connected, but no providers are set up yet.”

​
Why it happened

Your key works, but the harness has nothing to send the request to. On a fresh harness this usually means one of two things:
  • No default model is picked yet, even though providers are connected.
  • No provider is connected at all (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, an Ollama instance, anything).
It also happens when the tier’s model left your model list and no fallback is left.

​
How to fix it

  1. Open the dashboard link in the error message. It goes to the harness’s Routing page.
  2. If no provider is connected, connect one from the Providers section: Usage-based to paste an API key, or Subscriptions to reuse a plan you already pay for. OpenRouter or OpenAI with an API key is the fastest path.
  3. Pick a default model for the harness.
  4. Retry the request.
