Add a model from Control

Follow Deploy a model. Select an online target device from Models; you do not need to reinstall or re-register Link.

Wait for deployment to finish, then start serving. A downloaded file alone does not mean an endpoint is running.

Aventail Link Preferences

Open Preferences… from the menu-bar icon. Under Available to download, choose a model and select Download. Wait for installation to finish, then use its checkbox under Models to enable serving. Check the status beside the model; Test is also available on the row.

Model availability depends on account access and the installed runtime. If a model is absent, check the catalogue in Control rather than manually copying files into Link's folders.

Remove a device copy

Finish active requests and clear the model's serving checkbox. In Preferences → Models, identify the model and use Remove. Read any confirmation and check the device's model list afterward.

Alternatively, remove it from the device in Control. Removal frees the local copy; deleting a library model has a wider effect.

If a download is stalled, record its status and error, check connectivity and disk space, then use the available cancel/retry controls. Do not delete runtime files manually as a first recovery step.
