As expected, api.openai.com cannot connect, but I should be able to connect to localhost without connection to the internet, and as well, dns naming is caused by this "I Think" from another project I built that instead of a host name, I had to use IP's to connect to a device on my local network. And so I tried 127.0.0.1 and ended up with the same result, no model shown.
