Description

I installed llm via conda (from conda-forge), set my openai key (which worked fine). llm models returns a list of models that are available, but attempting to ask the models a Q, gets this error.

Any ideas?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the GitHub README setup with the conda-forge installation, configured OpenAI key, and the llm models command. Then compare the successful model listing with the failing question request and identify the cause of the connection error. Done means the documented setup can ask a model successfully or the failure has a clear, actionable explanation.
