Research direction

Start by locating the validation for the -max-ai-credits option and the code that identifies local models when /remote is used. Confirm the current minimum of 30, then verify that a value of 0 is accepted for the local-model workflow and that the session cannot use credits unexpectedly.

Description

area:configuration area:models
Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

I'd like to be able to use local models with /remote without the possibility of accidentally using credits in that session

Proposed solution

Remote the validation on -max-ai-credits that requires that it is >= 30.

Example prompts or workflows

No response

Additional context

The limit of 30 seems totally arbitrary, and when using a local model it doesn't mean anything. When testing with local models, it would be nice to know for sure that we can't accidentally use credits.
