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.
* 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.
This commit uses a new plugin modifier introduced in https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/26508
to mark all uploads as _not_ secure in shared PM AI conversations.
This is so images created by the AI bot (or uploaded by the user)
do not end up as broken URLs because of the security requirements
around them.
This relies on the UpdateTopicUploadSecurity job in core as well,
which is fired when an AI conversation is shared or deleted.
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 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

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

Utilizes the check for secure upload permissions from core PR
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/25758 and cleans up
controller codes and spec code to reuse existing code and better
reflect reality.
This PR adds a new feature where you can generate captions for images in the composer using AI.

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)

* FEATURE: allow personas to supply top_p and temperature params
Code assistance generally are more focused at a lower temperature
This amends it so SQL Helper runs at 0.2 temperature vs the more
common default across LLMs of 1.0.
Reduced temperature leads to more focused, concise and predictable
answers for the SQL Helper
* fix tests
* This is not perfect, but far better than what we do today
Instead of fishing for
1. Draft sequence
2. Draft body
We skip (2), this means the composer "only" needs 1 http request to
open, we also want to eliminate (1) but it is a bit of a trickier
core change, may figure out how to pull it off (defer it to first draft save)
Value of bot drafts < value of opening bot conversations really fast
* UX: Validations to Llm-backed features (except AI Bot)
This change is part of an ongoing effort to prevent enabling a broken feature due to lack of configuration. We also want to explicit which provider we are going to use. For example, Claude models are available through AWS Bedrock and Anthropic, but the configuration differs.
Validations are:
* You must choose a model before enabling the feature.
* You must turn off the feature before setting the model to blank.
* You must configure each model settings before being able to select it.
* Add provider name to summarization options
* vLLM can technically support same models as HF
* Check we can talk to the selected model
* Check for Bedrock instead of anthropic as a site could have both creds setup
* REFACTOR: Represent generic prompts with an Object.
* Adds a bit more validation for clarity
* Rewrite bot title prompt and fix quirk handling

Followup 2636efcd1b,
whenever ruby code was changed locally this would break
module loading, giving an "uninitialized constant
DiscourseAi::Embeddings::EntryPoint::SemanticRelated" error.
* DEV: AI bot migration to the Llm pattern.
We added tool and conversation context support to the Llm service in discourse-ai#366, meaning we met all the conditions to migrate this module.
This PR migrates to the new pattern, meaning adding a new bot now requires minimal effort as long as the service supports it. On top of this, we introduce the concept of a "Playground" to separate the PM-specific bits from the completion, allowing us to use the bot in other contexts like chat in the future. Commands are called tools, and we simplified all the placeholder logic to perform updates in a single place, making the flow more one-wayish.
* Followup fixes based on testing
* Cleanup unused inference code
* FIX: text-based tools could be in the middle of a sentence
* GPT-4-turbo support
* Use new LLM API
* FIX: AI helper not working correctly with mixtral
This PR introduces a new function on the generic llm called #generate
This will replace the implementation of completion!
#generate introduces a new way to pass temperature, max_tokens and stop_sequences
Then LLM implementers need to implement #normalize_model_params to
ensure the generic names match the LLM specific endpoint
This also adds temperature and stop_sequences to completion_prompts
this allows for much more robust completion prompts
* port everything over to #generate
* Fix translation
- On anthropic this no longer throws random "This is your translation:"
- On mixtral this actually works
* fix markdown table generation as well
This PR adds tool support to available LLMs. We'll buffer tool invocations and return them instead of making users of this service parse the response.
It also adds support for conversation context in the generic prompt. It includes bot messages, user messages, and tool invocations, which we'll trim to make sure it doesn't exceed the prompt limit, then translate them to the correct dialect.
Finally, It adds some buffering when reading chunks to handle cases when streaming is extremely slow.:M
We were limiting to 20 results unconditionally cause we had to make
sure search always fit in an 8k context window.
Models such as GPT 3.5 Turbo (16k) and GPT 4 Turbo / Claude 2.1 (over 150k)
allow us to return a lot more results.
This means we have a much richer understanding cause context is far
larger.
This also allows a persona to tweak this number, in some cases admin
may want to be conservative and save on tokens by limiting results
This also tweaks the `limit` param which GPT-4 liked to set to tell
model only to use it when it needs to (and describes default behavior)
Personas now support providing options for commands.
This PR introduces a single option "base_query" for the SearchCommand. When supplied all searches the persona will perform will also include the pre-supplied filter.
This can allow personas to search a subset of the forum (such as documentation)
This system is extensible we can add options to any command trivially.
Previous to this change we relied on explicit loading for a files in Discourse AI.
This had a few downsides:
- Busywork whenever you add a file (an extra require relative)
- We were not keeping to conventions internally ... some places were OpenAI others are OpenAi
- Autoloader did not work which lead to lots of full application broken reloads when developing.
This moves all of DiscourseAI into a Zeitwerk compatible structure.
It also leaves some minimal amount of manual loading (automation - which is loading into an existing namespace that may or may not be there)
To avoid needing /lib/discourse_ai/... we mount a namespace thus we are able to keep /lib pointed at ::DiscourseAi
Various files were renamed to get around zeitwerk rules and minimize usage of custom inflections
Though we can get custom inflections to work it is not worth it, will require a Discourse core patch which means we create a hard dependency.
Introduces a UI to manage customizable personas (admin only feature)
Part of the change was some extensive internal refactoring:
- AIBot now has a persona set in the constructor, once set it never changes
- Command now takes in bot as a constructor param, so it has the correct persona and is not generating AIBot objects on the fly
- Added a .prettierignore file, due to the way ALE is configured in nvim it is a pre-req for prettier to work
- Adds a bunch of validations on the AIPersona model, system personas (artist/creative etc...) are all seeded. We now ensure
- name uniqueness, and only allow certain properties to be touched for system personas.
- (JS note) the client side design takes advantage of nested routes, the parent route for personas gets all the personas via this.store.findAll("ai-persona") then child routes simply reach into this model to find a particular persona.
- (JS note) data is sideloaded into the ai-persona model the meta property supplied from the controller, resultSetMeta
- This removes ai_bot_enabled_personas and ai_bot_enabled_chat_commands, both should be controlled from the UI on a per persona basis
- Fixes a long standing bug in token accounting ... we were doing to_json.length instead of to_json.to_s.length
- Amended it so {commands} are always inserted at the end unconditionally, no need to add it to the template of the system message as it just confuses things
- Adds a concept of required_commands to stock personas, these are commands that must be configured for this stock persona to show up.
- Refactored tests so we stop requiring inference_stubs, it was very confusing to need it, added to plugin.rb for now which at least is clearer
- Migrates the persona selector to gjs

Also fixes it so users without bot in header can send it messages.
Previous to this change we would seed all bots with database seeds.
This lead to lots of confusion for people who do not enable ai bot.
Instead:
1. We do not seed any bots **until** user enables the ai_bot_enabled setting
2. If it is disabled we will
a. If no messages were created by bot - delete it
b. Otherwise we will deactivate account
* FEATURE: HyDE-powered semantic search.
It relies on the new outlet added on discourse/discourse#23390 to display semantic search results in an unobtrusive way.
We'll use a HyDE-backed approach for semantic search, which consists on generating an hypothetical document from a given keywords, which gets transformed into a vector and used in a asymmetric similarity topic search.
This PR also reorganizes the internals to have less moving parts, maintaining one hierarchy of DAOish classes for vector-related operations like transformations and querying.
Completions and vectors created by HyDE will remain cached on Redis for now, but we could later use Postgres instead.
* Missing translation and rate limiting

TopicQuery already provides a lot of safeguards and options for filtering topic, and enforcing permissions. It makes sense to rely on it as other plugins like discourse-assign do.
As a bonus, we now have access to the current_user while serializing these topics, so users will see things like unread posts count just like we do for the lists.
* FEATURE: Embeddings to main db
This commit moves our embeddings store from an external configurable PostgreSQL
instance back into the main database. This is done to simplify the setup.
There is a migration that will try to import the external embeddings into
the main DB if it is configured and there are rows.
It removes support from embeddings models that aren't all_mpnet_base_v2 or OpenAI
text_embedding_ada_002. However it will now be easier to add new models.
It also now takes into account:
- topic title
- topic category
- topic tags
- replies (as much as the model allows)
We introduce an interface so we can eventually support multiple strategies
for handling long topics.
This PR severely damages the semantic search performance, but this is a
temporary until we can get adapt HyDE to make semantic search use the same
embeddings we have for semantic related with good performance.
Here we also have some ground work to add post level embeddings, but this
will be added in a future PR.
Please note that this PR will also block Discourse from booting / updating if
this plugin is installed and the pgvector extension isn't available on the
PostgreSQL instance Discourse uses.
* DEV: Remove the summarization feature
Instead, we'll register summarization implementations for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Discourse AI using the API defined in discourse/discourse#21813.
Core and chat will implement features on top of these implementations instead of this plugin extending them.
* Register instances that contain the model, requiring less site settings
The rails_failover middleware will intercept all `PG::ConnectionBad` errors and put the cluster into readonly mode. It does not have any handling for multiple databases. Therefore, an issue with the embeddings database was taking the whole cluster into readonly.
This commit fixes the issue by rescuing `PG::Error` from all AI database accesses, and re-raises errors with a different class. It also adds a spec to ensure that an embeddings database outage does not affect the functionality of the topics/show route.

* FEATURE: Less friction for starting a conversation with an AI bot.
This PR adds a new header icon as a shortcut to start a conversation with one of our AI Bots. After clicking and selecting one from the dropdown menu, we'll open the composer with some fields already filled (recipients and title).
If you leave the title as is, we'll queue a job after five minutes to update it using a bot suggestion.

This module lets you chat with our GPT bot inside a PM. The bot only replies to members of the groups listed on the ai_bot_allowed_groups setting and only if you invite it to participate in the PM.
* FEATURE: Topic summarization
Summarize topics using the TopicView's "summary" filter. The UI is similar to what we do for chat, but we don't allow the user to select a timeframe.
