Lab Issue in the course "Crash Course: MCP For Beginners"

Lab Support
#1

Hi Team,

I just started the course: “Crash Course: MCP For Beginners”.
In the section, Lab: Get Familiarized with Labs :

its mentioned :

Look at the bottom of the Roo-Code interface. You should see:

✅ The Roo-Code interface is open
✅ "kodekey-profile" displayed at the bottom - this is your active profile name
✅ The AI model is set to deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3-0324:free

But I am not seeing this. Infact when choosing.
the currently selected API provider is OpenAI Compatible and the model selected is : openai/gpt-4.1-mini . Infact, there’s no model named: deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3-0324:free

has something changed recently? Please help here

HI @arpit2011

As you can see in the ~/.bash.profile in the lab, the env is configured for many models to work with.

It is possible that each lab instance selects the Model dynamically, but the text in the description remains constant, displaying the Deepseek model.

I’ll update the team on this.

@Santosh_KodeKloud, Thanks for the response.
yeah, I don’ think so that the lab is aligned with what is shown in the demo.
Infact in the demo video the course instructor shows that the lab has 7 tasks while it actually has 6. So something has changed probably.

Thanks!

The issue of an incorrectly selected model in the task description is fixed.

Probably the tasks are rearranged.
