Model ignores images

Nothing errors, the upload succeeds, and the answer is oddly generic, as though the model is describing what such an image usually contains rather than yours.

That is what AXL does when the model registry does not advertise image input. It strips the image content before sending, logs a warning, and lets the run succeed.

AXL reads multimodal support from its registry, not from the provider. So the usual cause is a registry row that understates what the model can actually do.

Check what the registry says:

curl -s "$AXL_HOST/api/v1/models" -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

With self-hosted models, you write the row yourself in axl-config/models.toml. Restart after editing it - the registry is not re-read live.

• Work with images - the whole attachment path.
• Local model setup - writing a correct registry entry.
