# 4.5 Model Test
## Overview
The model test feature (also known as **Stream Check**) verifies whether a provider's configured model is available by sending actual API requests to test:
- Whether the model exists
- Whether the API Key is valid
- Whether the endpoint responds normally
- Whether the response latency is acceptable
- Time to first token (TTFB) for streaming responses
Starting from v3.13.0, Stream Check coverage is extended to **Claude / Codex / Gemini / OpenCode / OpenClaw**, including all OpenClaw protocol variants (such as `openai-completions`). OpenCode is auto-detected via npm package mapping; OpenClaw supports custom `auth-header` detection and handles edge cases like Bedrock error messages and `baseURL` fallback.
## Open Configuration
Settings > Advanced > Model Test Config
## Test Model Configuration
Configure the model used for testing per application:
| Application | Setting | Default | Notes |
| ----------- | -------------- | -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Claude | Claude Model | System default | Recommend using Haiku series (low cost, fast) |
| Codex | Codex Model | System default | Recommend using mini series |
| Gemini | Gemini Model | System default | Recommend using Flash series |
| OpenCode | OpenCode Model | System default | Added in v3.13.0, auto-detected via npm package mapping |
| OpenClaw | OpenClaw Model | System default | Added in v3.13.0, covers all protocol variants and custom auth-header |
### Model Selection Tips
When choosing a test model, consider:
1. **Cost**: Choose lower-priced models (e.g., Haiku, Mini, Flash)
2. **Speed**: Choose fast-responding models
3. **Availability**: Choose models supported by the provider
## Test Parameter Configuration
### Timeout
| Parameter | Description | Default | Range |
|-----------|-------------|---------|-------|
| Timeout | Single request timeout | 45 seconds | 10-120 seconds |
Setting it too short may cause false negatives; too long delays fault detection.
### Retries
| Parameter | Description | Default | Range |
|-----------|-------------|---------|-------|
| Max Retries | Retries after failure | 2 times | 0-5 times |
Increase retries when the network is unstable.
### Degradation Threshold
| Parameter | Description | Default | Range |
|-----------|-------------|---------|-------|
| Degradation Threshold | Responses exceeding this time are marked as degraded | 6000ms | 1000-30000ms |
Providers exceeding the threshold are marked as "degraded" but remain usable.
## Execute Model Test
### Manual Test
Click the "Test" button on the provider card:
1. Sends a test request to the configured endpoint
2. Uses the configured test model
3. Waits for response or timeout
4. Displays the test result
### Test Content
The test request:
- Sends a short prompt (e.g., "Hi")
- Limits maximum output tokens (typically 10-50)
- Uses streaming response to detect time to first byte
## Test Results
### Health Status
| Status | Icon | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| Healthy | Green | Normal response, latency within threshold |
| Degraded | Yellow | Normal response, but latency exceeds threshold |
| Unavailable | Red | Request failed or timed out |
### Result Information
After testing completes, displays:
- Response latency (milliseconds)
- Time to first byte (TTFB)
- Error message (if failed)
## Integration with Failover
Model testing works in conjunction with the failover feature:
### Health Checks
After enabling the proxy service, the system periodically performs health checks on providers in the failover queue:
1. Sends a request using the configured test model
2. Updates health status based on the response
3. Unhealthy providers are temporarily skipped
### Circuit Breaker Recovery
When a provider recovers from a circuit-broken state:
1. Performs a model test to verify availability
2. If the test passes, normal status is restored
3. If the test fails, the circuit breaker remains active
## FAQ
### Test Fails But Actually Available
**Possible causes**:
- The test model differs from the actually used model
- The provider doesn't support the configured test model
**Solutions**:
- Change the test model to one supported by the provider
- Check the provider's model list
### High Latency
**Possible causes**:
- Network latency
- High server load on the provider
- Slow model response
**Solutions**:
- Use a faster test model
- Adjust the degradation threshold
- Consider using mirror endpoints
### Frequent Timeouts
**Possible causes**:
- Timeout set too short
- Unstable network
- Unstable provider service
**Solutions**:
- Increase the timeout
- Increase retry count
- Check network connection
## Notes
- Model testing consumes a small amount of API quota
- Recommend using low-cost models for testing
- Testing frequency should not be too high to avoid wasting quota
- Different providers may support different models
