Together AI is not available for local use. Change config.in
Error message
Together AI is not available for local use. Change config.ini
What it means
together_fn() refuses to call Together AI when the provider was configured with a local server (is_local=True). Together AI is a hosted-only service, so the library blocks the call before creating the Together client request. The message points the user to config.ini.

Solutions
- Edit config.ini's together section to remove the local server_ip so is_local becomes False
- Set a valid Together AI api_key in config.ini
- Switch the provider in config.ini to a genuinely local option if local inference is what you want
Example fix
// before (config.ini) [together] server_ip = http://localhost:8000 // after [together] api_key = YOUR_TOGETHER_API_KEY
Defensive patterns
Strategy: validation
Validate before calling
if provider == "together" and is_local:
raise RuntimeError("Together AI requires the hosted API; fix the [together] section in config.ini") Try / catch
try:
thought = provider.together_fn(history)
except Exception as e:
logger.error("Together unavailable locally: %s", e)
thought = local_model_fn(history) Prevention
- Keep hosted provider sections free of local server_ip entries
- Validate config.ini at startup per environment
- Document which providers are hosted-only in team onboarding
When it happens
Trigger: Calling together_fn() (or its provider dispatch) while self.is_local is True — config.ini's together section points at a local server_ip.
Common situations: config.ini still has local/ollama server settings from a previous setup, or a shared config copied from a local dev environment while intending to use hosted Together AI.
