Gotchas

Use provider model ID "meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct", not the LLMReference slug "llama-3.3-70b-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.
