* fix(providers): name the failing phase of a stalled OpenAI call, and reject a failed generation An agent block hung ~4.5 minutes with an empty trace and surfaced only the runtime's own `TimeoutError: The operation timed out.` The cause was a runaway generation: the model repeated one tool call until it consumed the whole 128,000-token output budget, which takes minutes, and `/v1/responses` withholds its 200 until generation finishes — so the client waited, bounded only by an undocumented runtime socket deadline, and gave up before the response existed. Nothing in the trace could distinguish that from a request the provider never answered, or from one whose body never arrived. - Name the phase a transport failure died in — `awaiting-response-headers` vs `reading-response-body` — with status, ttfb, content-length and `x-request-id`. undici draws the same line as two error types (UND_ERR_HEADERS_TIMEOUT / UND_ERR_BODY_TIMEOUT); the OpenAI SDK captures `x-request-id` for the same reason. It rides the error message because that reaches the trace span, which survives when a task stops shipping logs. - Carry the cause through `ProviderError` so a transport timeout still classifies after wrapping overwrites `name`. - Reject a 200 that reports a failed or unusable generation instead of returning empty content with billed tokens, and stop truncated tool calls from executing. Matches `streamResponsesTurn`, which already did this, and `@ai-sdk/openai`, which throws on the same condition. - Bound non-JSON error bodies so a gateway error page cannot become the user-facing block error. Deliberately not included: a response-body deadline (the observed failure is in the headers phase, and the body transfers in ~1ms) and status-based retries (worth doing, unrelated to this, and separable). * test(providers): pin that a structured provider error survives the error-body bound * chore(providers): trim comments to the non-obvious why * fix(providers): let a deadline while reading an error body propagate * fix(providers): name the body phase when an error body read fails
A workspace to build, deploy and manage AI agents and workflows.
Quickstart
Cloud-hosted: sim.ai
Self-hosted
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
bun install
bun run setup
Capabilities
- Connect 1,000+ integrations and every major LLM
- Add Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, databases, and more
- Build agents visually, conversationally, or with code
- Ingest files, knowledge bases, and structured table data
- Monitor runs, logs, schedules, and workflow activity
One workspace, every surface
Chat and workflows are just the start — tables, files, and knowledge all live in the same workspace.
Tables — a database, built in |
Files — one store for your team and every agent |
Knowledge — your agents' memory |
Self-hosting
bun run setup is an interactive wizard: it provisions the database, generates secrets, writes your .env files, connects a Chat API key, and starts Sim the way you choose:
- Local dev — run from source to contribute or hack on Sim
- Docker Compose — a self-contained instance for testing self-hosting
- Kubernetes (Helm) — deploy to a local cluster
When it finishes, open http://localhost:3000.
Reconfigure an optional capability without rerunning the full wizard:
bun run setup status
bun run setup email
bun run setup storage
bun run setup sandbox
bun run setup jobs
bun run setup cache
bun run setup knowledge
bun run setup llm
bun run setup integration slack
bun run setup status detects the effective local-dev, Docker Compose, or current-context
Helm configuration and reports configured, missing, or invalid capabilities and OAuth
integrations without printing credential values. This is separate from bun run sim status,
which reports whether installed services are running and healthy.
Manage your install with bun run sim:
bun run sim start | stop | restart # bring your install up / down / cycle
bun run sim status # what's installed and healthy
bun run sim logs # follow logs
bun run sim doctor # diagnose configuration problems
bun run sim down # remove containers (data kept)
bun run sim reset # archive .env and wipe managed data
sim detects how you're running (Docker Compose, local dev, or Kubernetes) and acts accordingly.
Prefer a bare sim? Run bun link once — but note sim lands in ~/.bun/bin, which Homebrew's bun doesn't add to your PATH, so you may need export PATH="$HOME/.bun/bin:$PATH" in your shell profile.
Sim also supports local models via Ollama and vLLM. See the self-hosting docs for details.
Chat API Keys
Chat is a Sim-managed service. bun run setup connects a Chat API key for you — sign in when it opens your browser and the key is stored automatically. To view, create, or revoke keys later, go to sim.ai/selfhost/settings/chat-keys.
Environment Variables
See the environment variables reference for the full list, or apps/sim/.env.example for defaults.
