Provider Auto-Updates

By default, Crush automatically checks for the latest list of providers and models from Catwalk, the open source Crush provider database. This means that when new providers and models are available, or when model metadata changes, Crush automatically updates your local configuration.

Disabling Automatic Updates

For those with restricted internet access, or those who prefer to work in air-gapped environments, this feature can be disabled.

Via config

Set disable_provider_auto_update in your crush.json:

{
  "$schema": "https://charm.land/crush.json",
  "options": {
    "disable_provider_auto_update": true
  }
}

Via environment variable

export CRUSH_DISABLE_PROVIDER_AUTO_UPDATE=1
