No SambaNova API key was set.

Error message

No SambaNova API key was set.

What it means

Configuration guard thrown by the SambaNovaLLM constructor: the SambaNova provider was selected but the SAMBANOVA_LLM_API_KEY environment variable is empty/unset, so requests to SambaNova's inference API cannot be authenticated.

Solutions

  1. Set the SambaNova API key in provider settings or env.
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown at provider construction when no SambaNova API key is configured.

Common situations: SambaNova selected as LLM provider without an API key.
