Run Pi
After connecting in Magnitude, start Pi with:MODEL_ID with the exact model ID, such as gemma-4-e2b-it-qat:gguf:q4, rather than its display name. The command shown in Connections already includes the correct ID for your selected model, so you can copy it without editing. Keep Magnitude running; it loads the model when the agent requests it.
