Fix status: documented_behavior Other error fragments: - If you get `Error code: 404`, please check your configured keys, in particular whether you set `OPENAI_API_BASE_URL` correctly Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SWE-agent/SWE-agent/3ea751c087f32b16e039a2233dd6eefecef325d5/docs/installation/keys.md (official_docs, unknown, official_recommended_action): Docs 'Something went wrong' section attributes Error code 404 to OPENAI_API_BASE_URL misconfiguration and describes local-model config (provider prefix, api_key non-empty, max_input_tokens). - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SWE-agent/SWE-agent/3ea751c087f32b16e039a2233dd6eefecef325d5/sweagent/agent/models.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Warning text when max input tokens are unknown for the model.
