How To Configure Your LLM Runtime

Switching your LLM model in the Pieces CLI is easy. You can select the model that best fits your needs.

Follow the steps below to change the cloud LLM utilized by the Pieces MCP:

Opening a terminal on your device depends on your platform: Open your OS’ search bar and enter `terminal`(macOS/Linux) or `CMD`(Windows). In your terminal, enter `pieces run` to launch into Pieces. While in the Pieces CLI, type `list models`. This will display a list of available models within the Pieces CLI. 
Use your `scroll wheel` or `arrow keys` to navigate to your desired LLM and press `return` (macOS) or `enter` (Windows/Linux) to set the LLM runtime.
