[CLI] Foundry Local 0.10.2 only exposes CPU model variants although CUDA Execution Provider is installed

[dahaii]

Problem

Foundry Local correctly detects my NVIDIA RTX 3060 Laptop GPU and successfully downloads and registers all available execution providers during server startup, including:

• CUDAExecutionProvider
• NvTensorRTRTXExecutionProvider
• OpenVINOExecutionProvider
• WebGpuExecutionProvider

The Foundry server starts successfully, models can be downloaded, loaded and executed without any errors.

However, every model exposed by the Azure Foundry catalog is CPU-only.

Examples:

• phi-4-mini → Device: CPU
• phi-3.5-mini → Device: CPU
• qwen3-embedding-0.6b → Device: CPU

Running:

foundry model list -o json

shows that every available model has:

"device": "Cpu"

Additionally, the daemon log reports:

Device: CPU, EPs: CPUExecutionProvider

This seems inconsistent because CUDAExecutionProvider is successfully downloaded and registered during server startup.

Expected behavior

If GPU model variants are supported for my hardware, I would expect Foundry Local to expose them automatically.

Is there an additional configuration required, or does Foundry Local CLI 0.10.2 currently expose only CPU model variants?
