Summary
Custom model endpoints (configured via GUI) have no way to specify model metadata or parameters. There is no setting for context window size, temperature, or model-specific parameters in settings.toml, and the GUI exposes none of these either.
Problem
Warp supports connecting to custom model endpoints, but the configuration is GUI-only and exposes essentially zero model settings. This means:
- Context window size is unknown to Warp. There is no way to tell Warp how much context a custom model supports. Warp's internal context management cannot make informed decisions about truncation, summarization, or conversation length.
- No temperature control. There is no setting for
temperatureanywhere in the settings schema or GUI endpoint configuration. - No model-specific parameters. Settings like
chat_template_kwargs,max_output_tokens, or other provider-specific parameters are completely unsupported. - GUI-only configuration. Custom endpoint settings are not represented in
settings.tomlat all, making them invisible to programmatic configuration, version control, or team sharing.
Desired workflow
- Configure a custom endpoint with a URL and API key (this exists today).
- Define model metadata alongside it: context window size, max output tokens, temperature, and any provider-specific parameters.
- Warp uses the context window size for accurate context usage display and truncation behavior.
- All settings are available in
settings.tomlfor version control and programmatic configuration.
