# Test and validate model provider settings

After configuring the model settings in the `Provider settings` tab, click `Test request`. This sends a completion request to the selected model provider and displays the result in a dialog.

The same provider configuration is used by:

* `AI scanner`
* `Scan with AI (results in Target → Site map)`
* `AI Chat`

{% hint style="info" %}
If a test fails, check Burp's `Logger` tab for the provider request and response. Provider-side errors such as invalid model names, unsupported parameters, rate limits, or insufficient credits are surfaced there.
{% endhint %}
