Simplify Local LLM Integration with Automatic Discovery and Native Support

I’d like to suggest a feature that could make TypingMind even better for users who run local LLMs.

While TypingMind already supports custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints, configuring local inference servers such as Ollama, LM Studio, LocalAI, vLLM, llama.cpp, and similar solutions still requires manual setup. It would be fantastic to have a dedicated Local Models section that makes connecting to local LLMs much easier and more user-friendly.

Some ideas that could improve the experience include:

• Automatic detection of local inference servers running on localhost (especially Ollama and LM Studio).

• One-click connection to supported local backends.

• Built-in presets for Ollama, LM Studio, LocalAI, vLLM, llama.cpp server, and other OpenAI-compatible APIs.

• Automatic discovery and listing of available models instead of requiring users to manually enter model names.

• A connection test with clear diagnostics when a server isn’t reachable.

• An optional setup wizard to guide new users through the configuration process.

A streamlined setup process would significantly improve the user experience while making TypingMind an even more compelling choice for anyone who wants to combine cloud models with locally hosted models.

Thank you for taking the time to read this suggestion and for continuously improving such an excellent product. I hope you’ll consider adding these enhancements in a future release.
