* FEATURE: Add metadata support for RAG
You may include non indexed metadata in the RAG document by using
[[metadata ....]]
This information is attached to all the text below and provided to
the retriever.
This allows for RAG to operate within a rich amount of contexts
without getting lost
Also:
- re-implemented chunking algorithm so it streams
- moved indexing to background low priority queue
* Baran gem no longer required.
* tokenizers is on 4.4 ... upgrade it ...
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 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.
* 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.
