As of November 2025, if you are using QualCoder 3.7 or lower, you must update your config.ini file in order to regain access to Blablador. This is because the service has switched to a new, more powerful server. Follow these steps to point QualCoder to the new server. 1) Close QualCoder ; 2) Open the file `config.ini` in the QualCoder settings folder (On Windows: `C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\.qualcoder\config.ini` ; On Mac or Linux: `~/.qualcoder/config.ini` (to open this hidden folder on a Mac, click Go → Go to Folder… in the Finder menu bar and enter `~/.qualcoder`)). 3) In the file, scroll down to the `[ai_model_Blablador]` section. 4) Change the value for `api_base` from `https://helmholtz-blablador.fz-juelich.de:8000/v1` to the new address `https://api.helmholtz-blablador.fz-juelich.de/v1/`. 5) Save and close the file config.ini, then restart QualCoder.
