Thank you for the detailed response — that clears things up!

One small suggestion: it might be worth adding a brief note in the official docs clarifying that the built-in AnythingLLM provider is just Ollama's MIT-licensed engine intended for running local GGUFs, and is not a full Ollama replacement. Specifically mentioning that Ollama cloud models are not an intentionally supported feature through the built-in provider could save future users a lot of confusion.

I went down quite a rabbit hole trying to figure out why cloud models accidentally worked through the built-in provider — and the answer wasn't findable anywhere online. A single line in the docs would have saved that entire investigation 😅

Thanks again for taking the time to respond.
