* FEATURE: LLM Triage support for systemless models.
This change adds support for OSS models without support for system messages. LlmTriage's system message field is no longer mandatory. We now send the post contents in a separate user message.
* Models using Ollama can also disable system prompts
New `ai_pm_summarization_allowed_groups` can be used to allow
visibility of the summarization feature on PMs.
This can be useful on forums where a lot of communication happens
inside PMs.
* FIX: Add tool support to open ai compatible dialect and vllm
Automatic tools are in progress in vllm see: https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/5649
Even when they are supported, initial support will be uneven, only some models have native tool support
notably mistral which has some special tokens for tool support.
After the above PR lands in vllm we will still need to swap to
XML based tools on models without native tool support.
* fix specs
* DEV: Remove old code now that features rely on LlmModels.
* Hide old settings and migrate persona llm overrides
* Remove shadowing special URL + seeding code. Use srv:// prefix instead.
Using RAG fragments can lead to considerably big system messages, which becomes problematic when models have a smaller context window.
Before this change, we only look at the rest of the conversation to make sure we don't surpass the limit, which could lead to two unwanted scenarios when having large system messages:
All other messages are excluded due to size.
The system message already exceeds the limit.
As a result, I'm putting a hard-limit of 60% of available tokens. We don't want to aggresively truncate because if rag fragments are included, the system message contains a lot of context to improve the model response, but we also want to make room for the recent messages in the conversation.
Using assistant role for system produces an error because
they expect alternating roles like user/assistant/user and so on.
Prompts cannot start with the assistant role.
This allows summary to use the new LLM models and migrates of API key based model selection
Claude 3.5 etc... all work now.

Introduces custom AI tools functionality.
1. Why it was added:
The PR adds the ability to create, manage, and use custom AI tools within the Discourse AI system. This feature allows for more flexibility and extensibility in the AI capabilities of the platform.
2. What it does:
- Introduces a new `AiTool` model for storing custom AI tools
- Adds CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for AI tools
- Implements a tool runner system for executing custom tool scripts
- Integrates custom tools with existing AI personas
- Provides a user interface for managing custom tools in the admin panel
3. Possible use cases:
- Creating custom tools for specific tasks or integrations (stock quotes, currency conversion etc...)
- Allowing administrators to add new functionalities to AI assistants without modifying core code
- Implementing domain-specific tools for particular communities or industries
4. Code structure:
The PR introduces several new files and modifies existing ones:
a. Models:
- `app/models/ai_tool.rb`: Defines the AiTool model
- `app/serializers/ai_custom_tool_serializer.rb`: Serializer for AI tools
b. Controllers:
- `app/controllers/discourse_ai/admin/ai_tools_controller.rb`: Handles CRUD operations for AI tools
c. Views and Components:
- New Ember.js components for tool management in the admin interface
- Updates to existing AI persona management components to support custom tools
d. Core functionality:
- `lib/ai_bot/tool_runner.rb`: Implements the custom tool execution system
- `lib/ai_bot/tools/custom.rb`: Defines the custom tool class
e. Routes and configurations:
- Updates to route configurations to include new AI tool management pages
f. Migrations:
- `db/migrate/20240618080148_create_ai_tools.rb`: Creates the ai_tools table
g. Tests:
- New test files for AI tool functionality and integration
The PR integrates the custom tools system with the existing AI persona framework, allowing personas to use both built-in and custom tools. It also includes safety measures such as timeouts and HTTP request limits to prevent misuse of custom tools.
Overall, this PR significantly enhances the flexibility and extensibility of the Discourse AI system by allowing administrators to create and manage custom AI tools tailored to their specific needs.

We no longer support the "provider:model" format in the "ai_helper_model" and
"ai_embeddings_semantic_search_hyde_model" settings. We'll migrate existing
values and work with our new data-driven LLM configs from now on.
Previously read tool only had access to public topics, this allows
access to all topics user has access to, if admin opts for the option
Also
- Fixes VLLM migration
- Display which llms have bot enabled
* DRAFT: Create AI Bot users dynamically and support custom LlmModels
* Get user associated to llm_model
* Track enabled bots with attribute
* Don't store bot username. Minor touches to migrate default values in settings
* Handle scenario where vLLM uses a SRV record
* Made 3.5-turbo-16k the default version so we can remove hack
- Display filtered search correctly, so it is not confusing
- When XML stripping, if a chunk was `<` it would crash
- SQL Helper improved to be better aware of Data Explorer
This is a rather huge refactor with 1 new feature (tool details can
be suppressed)
Previously we use the name "Command" to describe "Tools", this unifies
all the internal language and simplifies the code.
We also amended the persona UI to use less DToggles which aligns
with our design guidelines.

Native tools do not work well on Opus.
Chain of Thought prompting means it consumes enormous amounts of
tokens and has poor latency.
This commit introduce and XML stripper to remove various chain of
thought XML islands from anthropic prompts when tools are involved.
This mean Opus native tools is now functions (albeit slowly)
From local testing XML just works better now.
Also fixes enum support in Anthropic native tools
Add native Cohere tool support
- Introduce CohereTools class for tool translation and result processing
- Update Command dialect to integrate with CohereTools
- Modify Cohere endpoint to support passing tools and processing tool calls
- Add spec for testing tool triggering with Cohere endpoint
1. New tool to easily find files (and default branch) in a Github repo
2. Improved read tool with clearer params and larger context
* limit can totally mess up the richness semantic search adds, so include the results unconditionally.
This is similar to code interpreter by ChatGPT, except that it uses
JavaScript as the execution engine.
Safeguards were added to ensure memory is constrained and evaluation
times out.
* FEATURE: Set endpoint credentials directly from LlmModel.
Drop Llama2Tokenizer since we no longer use it.
* Allow http for custom LLMs

When lazy load categories is enabled, the list of categories does not
have to fetched from the "site.json" endpoint because it is already
returned by "search.json".
This commit reverts commits 5056502 and 3e54697 because iterating over
all pages of categories is not really necessary.
- Introduce new support for GPT4o (automation / bot / summary / helper)
- Properly account for token counts on OpenAI models
- Track feature that was used when generating AI completions
- Remove custom llm support for summarization as we need better interfaces to control registration and de-registration
This PR introduces the concept of "LlmModel" as a new way to quickly add new LLM models without making any code changes. We are releasing this first version and will add incremental improvements, so expect changes.
The AI Bot can't fully take advantage of this feature as users are hard-coded. We'll fix this in a separate PR.s
This optional feature allows search to be performed in the context
of the user that executed it.
By default we do not allow this behavior cause it means llm gets
access to potentially secure data.
When the bot is @mentioned, we need to be a lot more careful
about constructing context otherwise bot gets ultra confused.
This changes multiple things:
1. We were omitting all thread first messages (fixed)
2. Include thread title (if available) in context
3. Construct context in a clearer way separating user request from data
Both endpoints provide OpenAI-compatible servers. The only difference is that Vllm doesn't support passing tools as a separate parameter. Even if the tool param is supported, it ultimately relies on the model's ability to handle native functions, which is not the case with the models we have today.
As a part of this change, we are dropping support for StableBeluga/Llama2 models. They don't have a chat_template, meaning the new API can translate them.
These changes let us remove some of our existing dialects and are a first step in our plan to support any LLM by defining them as data-driven concepts.
I rewrote the "translate" method to use a template method and extracted the tool support strategies into its classes to simplify the code.
Finally, these changes bring support for Ollama when running in dev mode. It only works with Mistral for now, but it will change soon..
* Well, it was quite a journey but now tools have "context" which
can be critical for the stuff they generate
This entire change was so Dall E and Artist generate images in the correct context
* FIX: improve error handling around image generation
- also corrects image markdown and clarifies code
* fix spec
Add support for chat with AI personas
- Allow enabling chat for AI personas that have an associated user
- Add new setting `allow_chat` to AI persona to enable/disable chat
- When a message is created in a DM channel with an allowed AI persona user, schedule a reply job
- AI replies to chat messages using the persona's `max_context_posts` setting to determine context
- Store tool calls and custom prompts used to generate a chat reply on the `ChatMessageCustomPrompt` table
- Add tests for AI chat replies with tools and context
At the moment unlike posts we do not carry tool calls in the context.
No @mention support yet for ai personas in channels, this is future work
A recent change meant that llm instance got cached internally, repeat calls
to inference would cache data in Endpoint object leading model to
failures.
Both Gemini and Open AI expect a clean endpoint object cause they
set data.
This amends internals to make sure llm.generate will always operate
on clean objects
This commit introduces a new feature for AI Personas called the "Question Consolidator LLM". The purpose of the Question Consolidator is to consolidate a user's latest question into a self-contained, context-rich question before querying the vector database for relevant fragments. This helps improve the quality and relevance of the retrieved fragments.
Previous to this change we used the last 10 interactions, this is not ideal cause the RAG would "lock on" to an answer.
EG:
- User: how many cars are there in europe
- Model: detailed answer about cars in europe including the term car and vehicle many times
- User: Nice, what about trains are there in the US
In the above example "trains" and "US" becomes very low signal given there are pages and pages talking about cars and europe. This mean retrieval is sub optimal.
Instead, we pass the history to the "question consolidator", it would simply consolidate the question to "How many trains are there in the United States", which would make it fare easier for the vector db to find relevant content.
The llm used for question consolidator can often be less powerful than the model you are talking to, we recommend using lighter weight and fast models cause the task is very simple. This is configurable from the persona ui.
This PR also removes support for {uploads} placeholder, this is too complicated to get right and we want freedom to shift RAG implementation.
Key changes:
1. Added a new `question_consolidator_llm` column to the `ai_personas` table to store the LLM model used for question consolidation.
2. Implemented the `QuestionConsolidator` module which handles the logic for consolidating the user's latest question. It extracts the relevant user and model messages from the conversation history, truncates them if needed to fit within the token limit, and generates a consolidated question prompt.
3. Updated the `Persona` class to use the Question Consolidator LLM (if configured) when crafting the RAG fragments prompt. It passes the conversation context to the consolidator to generate a self-contained question.
4. Added UI elements in the AI Persona editor to allow selecting the Question Consolidator LLM. Also made some UI tweaks to conditionally show/hide certain options based on persona configuration.
5. Wrote unit tests for the QuestionConsolidator module and updated existing persona tests to cover the new functionality.
This feature enables AI Personas to better understand the context and intent behind a user's question by consolidating the conversation history into a single, focused question. This can lead to more relevant and accurate responses from the AI assistant.
This allows you to exclude trees of categories in a simple way
It also means you can no longer exclude "just the parent" but
this is a fair compromise.
For quite a few weeks now, some times, when running function calls
on Anthropic we would get a "stray" - "calls" line.
This has been enormously frustrating!
I have been unable to find the source of the bug so instead decoupled
the implementation and create a very clear "function call normalizer"
This new class is extensively tested and guards against the type of
edge cases we saw pre-normalizer.
This also simplifies the implementation of "endpoint" which no longer
needs to handle all this complex logic.
* FIX: various RAG edge cases
- Nicer text to describe RAG, avoids the word RAG
- Do not attempt to save persona when removing uploads and it is not created
- Remove old code that avoided touching rag params on create
* FIX: Missing pause button for persona users
* Feature: allow specific users to debug ai request / response chains
This can help users easily tune RAG and figure out what is going
on with requests.
* discourse helper so it does not explode
* fix test
* simplify implementation
* FEATURE: allow tuning of RAG generation
- change chunking to be token based vs char based (which is more accurate)
- allow control over overlap / tokens per chunk and conversation snippets inserted
- UI to control new settings
* improve ui a bit
* fix various reindex issues
* reduce concurrency
* try ultra low queue ... concurrency 1 is too slow.
Just having the word JSON can confuse models when we expect them
to deal solely in XML
Instead provide an example of how string arrays should be returned
Technically the tool framework supports int arrays and more, but
our current implementation only does string arrays.
Also tune the prompt construction not to give any tips about arrays
if none exist
- Added Cohere Command models (Command, Command Light, Command R, Command R Plus) to the available model list
- Added a new site setting `ai_cohere_api_key` for configuring the Cohere API key
- Implemented a new `DiscourseAi::Completions::Endpoints::Cohere` class to handle interactions with the Cohere API, including:
- Translating request parameters to the Cohere API format
- Parsing Cohere API responses
- Supporting streaming and non-streaming completions
- Supporting "tools" which allow the model to call back to discourse to lookup additional information
- Implemented a new `DiscourseAi::Completions::Dialects::Command` class to translate between the generic Discourse AI prompt format and the Cohere Command format
- Added specs covering the new Cohere endpoint and dialect classes
- Updated `DiscourseAi::AiBot::Bot.guess_model` to map the new Cohere model to the appropriate bot user
In summary, this PR adds support for using the Cohere Command family of models with the Discourse AI plugin. It handles configuring API keys, making requests to the Cohere API, and translating between Discourse's generic prompt format and Cohere's specific format. Thorough test coverage was added for the new functionality.
It used to fetch it from /site.json, but /categories.json is the more
appropriate one. This one also implements pagination, so we have to do
one request per page.
it is close in performance to GPT 4 at a fraction of the cost,
nice to add it to the mix.
Also improves a test case to simulate streaming, I am hunting for
the "calls" word that is jumping into function calls and can't quite
find it.
This PR lets you associate uploads to an AI persona, which we'll split and generate embeddings from. When building the system prompt to get a bot reply, we'll do a similarity search followed by a re-ranking (if available). This will let us find the most relevant fragments from the body of knowledge you associated with the persona, resulting in better, more informed responses.
For now, we'll only allow plain-text files, but this will change in the future.
Commits:
* FEATURE: RAG embeddings for the AI Bot
This first commit introduces a UI where admins can upload text files, which we'll store, split into fragments,
and generate embeddings of. In a next commit, we'll use those to give the bot additional information during
conversations.
* Basic asymmetric similarity search to provide guidance in system prompt
* Fix tests and lint
* Apply reranker to fragments
* Uploads filter, css adjustments and file validations
* Add placeholder for rag fragments
* Update annotations
This pull request makes several improvements and additions to the GitHub-related tools and personas in the `discourse-ai` repository:
1. It adds the `WebBrowser` tool to the `Researcher` persona, allowing the AI to visit web pages, retrieve HTML content, extract the main content, and convert it to plain text.
2. It updates the `GithubFileContent`, `GithubPullRequestDiff`, and `GithubSearchCode` tools to handle HTTP responses more robustly (introducing size limits).
3. It refactors the `send_http_request` method in the `Tool` class to follow redirects when specified, and to read the response body in chunks to avoid memory issues with large responses. (only for WebBrowser)
4. It updates the system prompt for the `Researcher` persona to provide more detailed guidance on when to use Google search vs web browsing, and how to optimize tool usage and reduce redundant requests.
5. It adds a new `web_browser_spec.rb` file with tests for the `WebBrowser` tool, covering various scenarios like handling different HTML structures and following redirects.
This commit adds the ability to enable vision for AI personas, allowing them to understand images that are posted in the conversation.
For personas with vision enabled, any images the user has posted will be resized to be within the configured max_pixels limit, base64 encoded and included in the prompt sent to the AI provider.
The persona editor allows enabling/disabling vision and has a dropdown to select the max supported image size (low, medium, high). Vision is disabled by default.
This initial vision support has been tested and implemented with Anthropic's claude-3 models which accept images in a special format as part of the prompt.
Other integrations will need to be updated to support images.
Several specs were added to test the new functionality at the persona, prompt building and API layers.
- Gemini is omitted, pending API support for Gemini 1.5. Current Gemini bot is not performing well, adding images is unlikely to make it perform any better.
- Open AI is omitted, vision support on GPT-4 it limited in that the API has no tool support when images are enabled so we would need to full back to a different prompting technique, something that would add lots of complexity

We were only suppressing non mentions, ones that become spans.
@sam in the test was not resolving to a mention cause the user
did not exist.
depends on: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/26253 for tests to pass.
- Stop replying as bot, when human replies to another human
- Reply as correct persona when replying directly to a persona
- Fix paper cut where suppressing notifications was not doing so
This PR consolidates the implements new Anthropic Messages interface for Bedrock Claude endpoints and adds support for the new Claude 3 models (haiku, opus, sonnet).
Key changes:
- Renamed `AnthropicMessages` and `Anthropic` endpoint classes into a single `Anthropic` class (ditto for ClaudeMessages -> Claude)
- Updated `AwsBedrock` endpoints to use the new `/messages` API format for all Claude models
- Added `claude-3-haiku`, `claude-3-opus` and `claude-3-sonnet` model support in both Anthropic and AWS Bedrock endpoints
- Updated specs for the new consolidated endpoints and Claude 3 model support
This refactor removes support for old non messages API which has been deprecated by anthropic
* FEATURE: allow suppression of notifications from report generation
Previously we needed to do this by hand, unfortunately this uses up
too many tokens and is very hard to discover.
New option means that we can trivially disable notifications without
needing any prompt engineering.
* URI.parse is safer, use it
This allows users to share a static page of an AI conversation with
the rest of the world.
By default this feature is disabled, it is enabled by turning on
ai_bot_allow_public_sharing via site settings
Precautions are taken when sharing
1. We make a carbonite copy
2. We minimize work generating page
3. We limit to 100 interactions
4. Many security checks - including disallowing if there is a mix
of users in the PM.
* Bonus commit, large PRs like this PR did not work with github tool
large objects would destroy context

Adds support for "name" on functions which can be used for tool calls
For function calls we need to keep track of id/name and previously
we only supported either
Also attempts to improve sql helper
Introduces a new AI Bot persona called 'GitHub Helper' which is specialized in assisting with GitHub-related tasks and questions. It includes the following key changes:
- Implements the GitHub Helper persona class with its system prompt and available tools
- Adds three new AI Bot tools for GitHub interactions:
- github_file_content: Retrieves content of files from a GitHub repository
- github_pull_request_diff: Retrieves the diff for a GitHub pull request
- github_search_code: Searches for code in a GitHub repository
- Updates the AI Bot dialects to support the new GitHub tools
- Implements multiple function calls for standard tool dialect
This provides new support for messages API from Claude.
It is required for latest model access.
Also corrects implementation of function calls.
* Fix message interleving
* fix broken spec
* add new models to automation
- FIX: only update system attributes when updating system persona
- FIX: update participant count by hand so bot messages show in inbox
Co-authored-by: Joffrey JAFFEUX <j.jaffeux@gmail.com>
* FIX: support multiple tool calls
Prior to this change we had a hard limit of 1 tool call per llm
round trip. This meant you could not google multiple things at
once or perform searches across two tools.
Also:
- Hint when Google stops working
- Log topic_id / post_id when performing completions
* Also track id for title
Previous to this fix if a tool call ever streamed a SPACE alone,
we would eat it and ignore it, breaking params
Also fixes some tests to ensure they are actually called :)
* DEV: improve internal design of ai persona and bug fix
- Fixes bug where OpenAI could not describe images
- Fixes bug where mentionable personas could not be mentioned unless overarching bot was enabled
- Improves internal design of playground and bot to allow better for non "bot" users
- Allow PMs directly to persona users (previously bot user would also have to be in PM)
- Simplify internal code

* FEATURE: AI helper support in non English languages
This attempts some prompt engineering to coerce AI helper to answer
in the appropriate language.
Note mileage will vary, in testing GPT-4 produces the best results
GPT-3.5 can return OKish results.
* Extend non english support for GPT-4V image caption
* Update db/fixtures/ai_helper/603_completion_prompts.rb

The Faraday adapter and `FinalDestionation::HTTP` will protect us from admin-initiated SSRF attacks when interacting with the external services powering this plugin features.:
This persona searches Discourse Meta for help with Discourse and
points users at relevant posts.
It is somewhat similar to using "Forum Helper" on meta, with the
notable difference that we can not lean on semantic search so using
some prompt engineering we try to keep it simple.
1. Personas are now optionally mentionable, meaning that you can mention them either from public topics or PMs
- Mentioning from PMs helps "switch" persona mid conversation, meaning if you want to look up sites setting you can invoke the site setting bot, or if you want to generate an image you can invoke dall e
- Mentioning outside of PMs allows you to inject a bot reply in a topic trivially
- We also add the support for max_context_posts this allow you to limit the amount of context you feed in, which can help control costs
2. Add support for a "random picker" tool that can be used to pick random numbers
3. Clean up routing ai_personas -> ai-personas
4. Add Max Context Posts so users can control how much history a persona can consume (this is important for mentionable personas)
