 # Model warnings
 
-Aider supports connecting to almost any LLM,
+{% include model-warnings.md %}
-but it may not work well with less capable models.
-If you see the model returning code, but aider isn't able to edit your files
-and commit the changes...
-this is usually because the model isn't capable of properly
-returning "code edits".
-Models weaker than GPT 3.5 may have problems working well with aider.
-
-Aider tries to sanity check that it is configured correctly
-to work with the specified model:
-
-- It checks to see that all required environment variables are set for the model. These variables are required to configure things like API keys, API base URLs, etc.
-- It checks a metadata database to look up the context window size and token costs for the model.
-
-Sometimes one or both of these checks will fail, so aider will issue
-some of the following warnings.
-
-## Missing environment variables
-
-```
-Model azure/gpt-4-turbo: Missing these environment variables:
-- AZURE_API_BASE
-- AZURE_API_VERSION
-- AZURE_API_KEY
-```
-
-You need to set the listed environment variables.
-Otherwise you will get error messages when you start chatting with the model.
-
-
-## Unknown which environment variables are required
-
-```
-Model gpt-5: Unknown which environment variables are required.
-```
-
-Aider is unable verify the environment because it doesn't know
-which variables are required for the model.
-If required variables are missing,
-you may get errors when you attempt to chat with the model.
-You can look in the
-[litellm provider documentation](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/providers)
-to see if the required variables are listed there.
-
-## Unknown model, did you mean?
-
-```
-Model gpt-5: Unknown model, context window size and token costs unavailable.
-Did you mean one of these?
-- gpt-4
-```
-
-If you specify a model that aider has never heard of, you will get an
-"unknown model" warning.
-This means aider doesn't know the context window size and token costs
-for that model.
-Some minor functionality will be limited when using such models, but
-it's not really a significant problem.
-
-Aider will also try to suggest similarly named models,
-in case you made a typo or mistake when specifying the model name.
