Project Configuration (config.yaml)

Every Lamia project uses a config.yaml file to define which LLM models to use and how providers are configured.

Location

Lamia Studio discovers config.yaml files from workspace folder (and subfolders, up to 4 levels deep).

How It Affects the Chat

• Models from model_chain appear at the top of the chat model dropdown
• When you select a model in chat, Lamia Studio writes a separate chat config to ~/.lamia/ide/config.yaml (do not edit this file manually)

Multiple Projects

If your workspace contains multiple Lamia projects (subfolders with their own config.yaml), all discovered models are merged into the chat dropdown. When you switch to a file in a different project, the chat backend automatically switches to that project's working directory.
