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 temperature anywhere 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.toml at all, making them invisible to programmatic configuration, version control, or team sharing.

Desired workflow

  1. Configure a custom endpoint with a URL and API key (this exists today).
  2. Define model metadata alongside it: context window size, max output tokens, temperature, and any provider-specific parameters.
  3. Warp uses the context window size for accurate context usage display and truncation behavior.
  4. All settings are available in settings.toml for version control and programmatic configuration.
