Gotchas

Use provider model ID "moonshotai/Kimi-K2-Instruct", not the LLMReference slug "kimi-k2-instruct".
Use exact Featherless catalog id in modelProvider.providerModelId (HF-style org/name). Not interchangeable with LLM Reference slugs.
The examples expect FEATHERLESS_API_KEY; rename it only if your application config maps the new variable.
