Cause (Documented platform behavior): In router mode the router forwards by model name; missing/unknown names are rejected, and without autoload unloaded models are refused.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/a97cce86a8addeb9f40cba7a261c94b1f0c576cb/tools/server/server-models.cpp (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): router_validate_model returns these three errors.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Requests that worked against single-model llama-server now return 400 errors.
- Context
- Product: llama.cpp llama-server Component: Router mode (multi-model llama-server) Operation: Starting llama-server without -m (router mode) and sending OpenAI requests from agents Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown HTTP status: 400 Packages: llama.cpp (llama-server) master at pinned SHA Trigger: Client omits "model" (or ?model= for GET endpoints), uses a name not in the cache/--models-dir/--models-preset, or --no-models-autoload is set and the model is not loaded.

Proposed fix: [llama-server router mode] "model name is missing from the request" / "model 'X' not found" / "model is not loaded"
Recommended action: Set the "model" field to a name listed by GET /v1/models, add ?model= to GET endpoints like /props, and enable autoload (default) or load the model via the router API first.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
