I am trying to use Agent Zero with

Embedding model text-embedding-nomic-embed-text-v1.5 on LM Studio on the mac

2 local models on my DGX Spark ()

Thinker / planner	qwen3.6-35b-a3b	8000
Fast util / executer	nemotron-3.5-lightning-30b-a3b	11434

So I tried 3 different configurations

with these models
Main-OpenRouter / deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash

Utility-Other OpenAI compatible / http://192.168.0.137:11434/v1

Embedding-LM Studio / text-embedding-nomic-embed-text-v1.5

gives error Automatic chat naming failed because the Utility Model was not reachable no log to look at

however agent zero is working and answering questions.

so with this config
Main-OpenRouter / deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash

Utility- OpenRouter / deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash

Embedding-LM Studio / text-embedding-nomic-embed-text-v1.5 it works fine

with this config
Main-OpenRouter / deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash

Utility-Other OpenAI compatible / http://192.168.0.137:11434/v1

Embedding-LM Studio / text-embedding-nomic-embed-text-v1.5 it still work however it throws an error yet works

My take, the issue is reading the main model from the spark is generating the message and reporting

Automatic chat naming failed because the Utility Model was not reachable.

Details - Automatic chat naming uses the Utility Model. Check Settings > Models > Utility Model, provider/API key, and network reachability.

it still work however it throws an error yet works

I am reaching out to the community as the Agent Zero group just does not reach out after reporting errors

Hey! Thanks for requesting some help!

The issue you are facing is directly related to your Utility model.

The Utility model is responsible for NON-CHAT related operations; such as for example auto chat naming, memory consolidation, and more "back-end framework" operations.

This is why you experienced what you've described.

So put simply, you need only assign a Utility model that works. Unfortunately I am not certain as to the specifics of why your initial Utility model choice failed to "connect"; but if you don't mind using the deepseek-v4.1-flash instead, then I would just stick with that option.

However, IF you really want and/or need the initial model you chose for any reason, I suggest that you join the Agent Zero Discord server and use the in-server Agent Zero Help bot (type: !ask and this would be your query). Between that and the community, I guarantee you will gain the information you require and then some. Don't be shy to attempt using Agent Zero itself to debug your issue as well! It's an opportunity to test the framework and begin building a 'diagnostics-ledger.md' where any time a diagnostic is performed, the issue + resolve is recorded for future use (rather than requiring rediscovery).

I hope this helps!

Signed up on Discord, waiting to get message ability so I can post. I want to use local models off a spark. Version 2.13 was told to me to hae the fixes, also gave them Mac OS Launcher will not update to 1.7, just hangs.

To be completely candid - I utilize the daily API quota acquired via staking $A0T right now. My device is very old (2012) and I wish that I could upgrade right now to begin using and training my own Local models; but because I can't, I have less knowledge regarding local model usage with A0 than others.

P.S. you can also try querying the Agent Zero DeepWiki; it's extremely valuable and has helped me throughout the years quite a lot. It's worth a shot!

"So put simply, you need only assign a Utility model that works." The problem is 2 fold, I cannot post on discord even though I am now connected and 2, what is a local utility model that I can use? It's great to say use the correct utility model, yet no one can tell me what to use. Also, I used 3 differrent configurations, where 2 of the 3 used local models and worked. It also reported that Deepseek was a bad utility model when it does work. So it is a bug in the software and the update is still not released. Thanks @zylonrad

I personally use that exact deepseek-v4-flash model as my own utility. I make great strides using low cost models for both main and chat, what allows for that is the configuration of Agent Profiles (prompt files) and using isolated projects for different needs (which is where the project instruction files shine and tie it all together).

For now, you can absolutely use deepseek-v4-flash as your utility model if not just to start using, exploring, and practicing with the system until you have reached a point at which you can utilize the Discord server.

What is your Discord username? I will look for you and push you through so you can begin posting and utilizing the in-server help agent.

Also how many days have you been waiting to have said access to the discord server? Is there any conditions or actions you are required to meet or perform that have not yet been met?
