Implement streaming tool call implementation for Anthropic and Open AI.
When calling:
llm.generate(..., partial_tool_calls: true) do ...
Partials may contain ToolCall instances with partial: true, These tool calls are partially populated with json partially parsed.
So for example when performing a search you may get:
ToolCall(..., {search: "hello" })
ToolCall(..., {search: "hello world" })
The library used to parse json is:
https://github.com/dgraham/json-stream
We use a fork cause we need access to the internal buffer.
This prepares internals to perform partial tool calls, but does not implement it yet.
This re-implements tool support in DiscourseAi::Completions::Llm #generate
Previously tool support was always returned via XML and it would be the responsibility of the caller to parse XML
New implementation has the endpoints return ToolCall objects.
Additionally this simplifies the Llm endpoint interface and gives it more clarity. Llms must implement
decode, decode_chunk (for streaming)
It is the implementers responsibility to figure out how to decode chunks, base no longer implements. To make this easy we ship a flexible json decoder which is easy to wire up.
Also (new)
Better debugging for PMs, we now have a next / previous button to see all the Llm messages associated with a PM
Token accounting is fixed for vllm (we were not correctly counting tokens)
Fixes encoding of params on LLM function calls.
Previously we would improperly return results if a function parameter returned an HTML tag.
Additionally adds some missing HTTP verbs to tool calls.
The new `/admin/plugins/discourse-ai/ai-personas/stream-reply.json` was added.
This endpoint streams data direct from a persona and can be used
to access a persona from remote systems leaving a paper trail in
PMs about the conversation that happened
This endpoint is only accessible to admins.

* FIX: Llm selector / forced tools / search tool
This fixes a few issues:
1. When search was not finding any semantic results we would break the tool
2. Gemin / Anthropic models did not implement forced tools previously despite it being an API option
3. Mechanics around displaying llm selector were not right. If you disabled LLM selector server side persona PM did not work correctly.
4. Disabling native tools for anthropic model moved out of a site setting. This deliberately does not migrate cause this feature is really rare to need now, people who had it set probably did not need it.
5. Updates anthropic model names to latest release
* linting
* fix a couple of tests I missed
* clean up conditional
A new feature_context json column was added to ai_api_audit_logs
This allows us to store rich json like context on any LLM request
made.
This new field now stores automation id and name.
Additionally allows llm_triage to specify maximum number of tokens
This means that you can limit the cost of llm triage by scanning only
first N tokens of a post.
* FEATURE: allows forced LLM tool use
Sometimes we need to force LLMs to use tools, for example in RAG
like use cases we may want to force an unconditional search.
The new framework allows you backend to force tool usage.
Front end commit to follow
* UI for forcing tools now works, but it does not react right
* fix bugs
* fix tests, this is now ready for review
This allows our users to add the Ollama provider and use it to serve our AI bot (completion/dialect).
In this PR, we introduce:
DiscourseAi::Completions::Dialects::Ollama which would help us translate by utilizing Completions::Endpoint::Ollama
Correct extract_completion_from and partials_from in Endpoints::Ollama
Also
Add tests for Endpoints::Ollama
Introduce ollama_model fabricator
Caveats
- No streaming, by design
- No tool support (including no XML tools)
- No vision
Open AI will revamt the model and more of these features may
become available.
This solution is a bit hacky for now
Creating a new model, either manually or from presets, doesn't initialize the `provider_params` object, meaning their custom params won't persist.
Additionally, this change adds some validations for Bedrock params, which are mandatory, and a clear message when a completion fails because we cannot build the URL.
* 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.
Previously, we stored request parameters like the OpenAI organization and Bedrock's access key and region as site settings. This change stores them in the `llm_models` table instead, letting us drop more settings while also becoming more flexible.
* FEATURE: LLM presets for model creation
Previous to this users needed to look up complicated settings
when setting up models.
This introduces and extensible preset system with Google/OpenAI/Anthropic
presets.
This will cover all the most common LLMs, we can always add more as
we go.
Additionally:
- Proper support for Anthropic Claude Sonnet 3.5
- Stop blurring api keys when navigating away - this made it very complex to reuse keys
* 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
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
* FEATURE: Set endpoint credentials directly from LlmModel.
Drop Llama2Tokenizer since we no longer use it.
* Allow http for custom LLMs

- 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
There are still some limitations to which models we can support with the `LlmModel` class. This will enable support for Llama3 while we sort those out.
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..
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.
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.
- Updated AI Bot to only support Gemini 1.5 (used to support 1.0) - 1.0 was removed cause it is not appropriate for Bot usage
- Summaries and automation can now lean on Gemini 1.5 pro
- Amazon added support for Claude 3 Opus, added internal support for it on bedrock
- 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.
Open AI just released gpt-4-turbo (with vision)
This change stops using the old preview model and swaps with the
officially released gpt-4-turbo
To come is an implementation of vision.
