Thanks for the detailed report, @mikecheongx! This is a generation timeout — the model didn't complete its response within the default 1200 s (20 min) limit.

From your logs, the generation ran for exactly 1200 s and was aborted by the timeout timer:

• Provider: custom-nvidea-i8q4
• Model: minimaxai/minimax-m2.7
• Stop reason: aborted

The error message points to Settings → Advanced → Generation timeout. In v0.1.4 (which includes a fix that makes the dropdown work correctly for longer values), you can now set the timeout up to 2 h.

Two things to try:

1. Increase the timeout — Go to Settings → Advanced → Generation timeout and choose a longer value (e.g., 30 min or 1 h). The MiniMax model via NVIDIA may need more time for PPTX generation.
2. Try a different model — If available, test with a faster model (e.g., GPT-4o-mini, Claude Haiku, or a smaller frontier model) to see if the issue is model-specific.

Could you also check whether:

• The model is reachable (Test Connection passes in provider config)?
• The same prompt works with another provider/model (even a small one) within the default timeout?

That would help narrow down whether this is a model latency issue or a bug in the generation pipeline.

Closing this timeout duplicate after #315 merged into main (768dc8b). GENERATION_TIMEOUT now has its own diagnostic category, localized copy, and a recovery action that opens Settings -> Advanced so the generation timeout can be adjusted.

The upcoming v0.2 packaged release will include this. The deeper provider/request-timeout follow-up remains tracked in #199 and #314.
