POST: /api/chat doesn't reply.

I forked project in local and set all environment variables. but it occurs error while sending message. What's wrong?

I ran into the same thing. The app/(chat)/api/chat/route.ts is eating the meaningful error, if you add:

  } catch (error) {
    console.error("[DEBUG] API error:", error);
    return new Response('An error occurred while processing your request!', {
      status: 404,
    });

you'll see what the problem is. For me, it was I didn't have XAI_API_KEY defined. The latest versions use xAI as you can see in providers.ts

I got a xAI api key and set it in local.env. how to validate that api key?

[generativelabs]

how to validate that api key?

Set a breakpoint on that exception or add debug message shown above to validate / rule out an invalid key.
