This PR introduces several enhancements and refactorings to the AI Persona and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) functionalities within the discourse-ai plugin. Here's a breakdown of the changes:
**1. LLM Model Association for RAG and Personas:**
- **New Database Columns:** Adds `rag_llm_model_id` to both `ai_personas` and `ai_tools` tables. This allows specifying a dedicated LLM for RAG indexing, separate from the persona's primary LLM. Adds `default_llm_id` and `question_consolidator_llm_id` to `ai_personas`.
- **Migration:** Includes a migration (`20250210032345_migrate_persona_to_llm_model_id.rb`) to populate the new `default_llm_id` and `question_consolidator_llm_id` columns in `ai_personas` based on the existing `default_llm` and `question_consolidator_llm` string columns, and a post migration to remove the latter.
- **Model Changes:** The `AiPersona` and `AiTool` models now `belong_to` an `LlmModel` via `rag_llm_model_id`. The `LlmModel.proxy` method now accepts an `LlmModel` instance instead of just an identifier. `AiPersona` now has `default_llm_id` and `question_consolidator_llm_id` attributes.
- **UI Updates:** The AI Persona and AI Tool editors in the admin panel now allow selecting an LLM for RAG indexing (if PDF/image support is enabled). The RAG options component displays an LLM selector.
- **Serialization:** The serializers (`AiCustomToolSerializer`, `AiCustomToolListSerializer`, `LocalizedAiPersonaSerializer`) have been updated to include the new `rag_llm_model_id`, `default_llm_id` and `question_consolidator_llm_id` attributes.
**2. PDF and Image Support for RAG:**
- **Site Setting:** Introduces a new hidden site setting, `ai_rag_pdf_images_enabled`, to control whether PDF and image files can be indexed for RAG. This defaults to `false`.
- **File Upload Validation:** The `RagDocumentFragmentsController` now checks the `ai_rag_pdf_images_enabled` setting and allows PDF, PNG, JPG, and JPEG files if enabled. Error handling is included for cases where PDF/image indexing is attempted with the setting disabled.
- **PDF Processing:** Adds a new utility class, `DiscourseAi::Utils::PdfToImages`, which uses ImageMagick (`magick`) to convert PDF pages into individual PNG images. A maximum PDF size and conversion timeout are enforced.
- **Image Processing:** A new utility class, `DiscourseAi::Utils::ImageToText`, is included to handle OCR for the images and PDFs.
- **RAG Digestion Job:** The `DigestRagUpload` job now handles PDF and image uploads. It uses `PdfToImages` and `ImageToText` to extract text and create document fragments.
- **UI Updates:** The RAG uploader component now accepts PDF and image file types if `ai_rag_pdf_images_enabled` is true. The UI text is adjusted to indicate supported file types.
**3. Refactoring and Improvements:**
- **LLM Enumeration:** The `DiscourseAi::Configuration::LlmEnumerator` now provides a `values_for_serialization` method, which returns a simplified array of LLM data (id, name, vision_enabled) suitable for use in serializers. This avoids exposing unnecessary details to the frontend.
- **AI Helper:** The `AiHelper::Assistant` now takes optional `helper_llm` and `image_caption_llm` parameters in its constructor, allowing for greater flexibility.
- **Bot and Persona Updates:** Several updates were made across the codebase, changing the string based association to a LLM to the new model based.
- **Audit Logs:** The `DiscourseAi::Completions::Endpoints::Base` now formats raw request payloads as pretty JSON for easier auditing.
- **Eval Script:** An evaluation script is included.
**4. Testing:**
- The PR introduces a new eval system for LLMs, this allows us to test how functionality works across various LLM providers. This lives in `/evals`
Currently in core re-flagging something that is already flagged as spam
is not supported, long term we may want to support this but in the meantime
we should not be silencing/hiding if the PostActionCreator fails
when flagging things as spam.

Before this change, a summary was only outdated when new content appeared, for topics with "best replies", when the query returned different results. The intent behind this change is to detect when a summary is outdated as a result of an edit.
Additionally, we are changing the backfill candidates query to compare "ai_summary_backfill_topic_max_age_days" against "last_posted_at" instead of "created_at", to catch long-lived, active topics. This was discussed here: https://meta.discourse.org/t/ai-summarization-backfill-is-stuck-keeps-regenerating-the-same-topic/347088/14?u=roman_rizzi
### Why
This pull request fundamentally restructures how AI bots create and update web artifacts to address critical limitations in the previous approach:
1. **Improved Artifact Context for LLMs**: Previously, artifact creation and update tools included the *entire* artifact source code directly in the tool arguments. This overloaded the Language Model (LLM) with raw code, making it difficult for the LLM to maintain a clear understanding of the artifact's current state when applying changes. The LLM would struggle to differentiate between the base artifact and the requested modifications, leading to confusion and less effective updates.
2. **Reduced Token Usage and History Bloat**: Including the full artifact source code in every tool interaction was extremely token-inefficient. As conversations progressed, this redundant code in the history consumed a significant number of tokens unnecessarily. This not only increased costs but also diluted the context for the LLM with less relevant historical information.
3. **Enabling Updates for Large Artifacts**: The lack of a practical diff or targeted update mechanism made it nearly impossible to efficiently update larger web artifacts. Sending the entire source code for every minor change was both computationally expensive and prone to errors, effectively blocking the use of AI bots for meaningful modifications of complex artifacts.
**This pull request addresses these core issues by**:
* Introducing methods for the AI bot to explicitly *read* and understand the current state of an artifact.
* Implementing efficient update strategies that send *targeted* changes rather than the entire artifact source code.
* Providing options to control the level of artifact context included in LLM prompts, optimizing token usage.
### What
The main changes implemented in this PR to resolve the above issues are:
1. **`Read Artifact` Tool for Contextual Awareness**:
- A new `read_artifact` tool is introduced, enabling AI bots to fetch and process the current content of a web artifact from a given URL (local or external).
- This provides the LLM with a clear and up-to-date representation of the artifact's HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, improving its understanding of the base to be modified.
- By cloning local artifacts, it allows the bot to work with a fresh copy, further enhancing context and control.
2. **Refactored `Update Artifact` Tool with Efficient Strategies**:
- The `update_artifact` tool is redesigned to employ more efficient update strategies, minimizing token usage and improving update precision:
- **`diff` strategy**: Utilizes a search-and-replace diff algorithm to apply only the necessary, targeted changes to the artifact's code. This significantly reduces the amount of code sent to the LLM and focuses its attention on the specific modifications.
- **`full` strategy**: Provides the option to replace the entire content sections (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) when a complete rewrite is required.
- Tool options enhance the control over the update process:
- `editor_llm`: Allows selection of a specific LLM for artifact updates, potentially optimizing for code editing tasks.
- `update_algorithm`: Enables choosing between `diff` and `full` update strategies based on the nature of the required changes.
- `do_not_echo_artifact`: Defaults to true, and by *not* echoing the artifact in prompts, it further reduces token consumption in scenarios where the LLM might not need the full artifact context for every update step (though effectiveness might be slightly reduced in certain update scenarios).
3. **System and General Persona Tool Option Visibility and Customization**:
- Tool options, including those for system personas, are made visible and editable in the admin UI. This allows administrators to fine-tune the behavior of all personas and their tools, including setting specific LLMs or update algorithms. This was previously limited or hidden for system personas.
4. **Centralized and Improved Content Security Policy (CSP) Management**:
- The CSP for AI artifacts is consolidated and made more maintainable through the `ALLOWED_CDN_SOURCES` constant. This improves code organization and future updates to the allowed CDN list, while maintaining the existing security posture.
5. **Codebase Improvements**:
- Refactoring of diff utilities, introduction of strategy classes, enhanced error handling, new locales, and comprehensive testing all contribute to a more robust, efficient, and maintainable artifact management system.
By addressing the issues of LLM context confusion, token inefficiency, and the limitations of updating large artifacts, this pull request significantly improves the practicality and effectiveness of AI bots in managing web artifacts within Discourse.
* DEV: raise timeout for reasoning LLMs
* FIX: use id to identify llms, not model_name
model_name is not unique, in the case of reasoning models
you may configure the same llm multiple times using different
reasoning levels.
This update resolves a regression that was introduced in https://github.com/discourse/discourse-ai/pull/1036/files. Previously, only seeded models that were allowed could be configured for model settings. However, in our attempts to prevent unreachable LLM errors from not allowing settings to persist, it also unknowingly allowed seeded models that were not allowed to be configured. This update resolves this issue, while maintaining the ability to still set unreachable LLMs.
Before this change, we let you set the embeddings selected model back to " " even with embeddings enabled. This will leave the site in a broken state.
Additionally, it adds a fail-safe for these scenarios to avoid errors on the topics page.
This should give us a better idea on how our scanner is faring across sites.

This adds registration and last known IP information and email to scanning context.
This provides another hint for spam scanner about possible malicious users.
For example registered in India, replying from Australia or
email is clearly a throwaway email address.
To quickly select backfill candidates without comparing SHAs, we compare the last summarized post to the topic's highest_post_number. However, hiding or deleting a post and adding a small action will update this column, causing the job to stall and re-generate the same summary repeatedly until someone posts a regular reply. On top of this, this is not always true for topics with `best_replies`, as this last reply isn't necessarily included.
Since this is not evident at first glance and each summarization strategy picks its targets differently, I'm opting to simplify the backfill logic and how we track potential candidates.
The first step is dropping `content_range`, which serves no purpose and it's there because summary caching was supposed to work differently at the beginning. So instead, I'm replacing it with a column called `highest_target_number`, which tracks `highest_post_number` for topics and could track other things like channel's `message_count` in the future.
Now that we have this column when selecting every potential backfill candidate, we'll check if the summary is truly outdated by comparing the SHAs, and if it's not, we just update the column and move on
When enabling spam scanner it there may be old unscanned posts
this can create a risky situation where spam scanner operates
on legit posts during false positives
To keep this a lot safer we no longer try to hide old stuff by
the spammers.
Adds a comprehensive quota management system for LLM models that allows:
- Setting per-group (applied per user in the group) token and usage limits with configurable durations
- Tracking and enforcing token/usage limits across user groups
- Quota reset periods (hourly, daily, weekly, or custom)
- Admin UI for managing quotas with real-time updates
This system provides granular control over LLM API usage by allowing admins
to define limits on both total tokens and number of requests per group.
Supports multiple concurrent quotas per model and automatically handles
quota resets.

Disabling streaming is required for models such o1 that do not have streaming
enabled yet
It is good to carry this feature around in case various apis decide not to support streaming endpoints and Discourse AI can continue to work just as it did before.
Also: fixes issue where sharing artifacts would miss viewport leading to tiny artifacts on mobile
This update adds some structure for handling errors in the spam config while also handling a specific error related to the spam scanning user not being an admin account.
* FEATURE: smart date support for AI helper
This feature allows conversion of human typed in dates and times
to smart "Discourse" timezone friendly dates.
* fix specs and lint
* lint
* address feedback
* add specs
This PR fixes an issue where LLM enumerator would error out when `SiteSetting.ai_spam_detection = true` but there was no `AiModerationSetting.spam` present.
Typically, we add an `LlmDependencyValidator` for the setting itself, however, since Spam is unique in that it has it's model set in `AiModerationSetting` instead of a `SiteSetting`, we'll add a simple check here to prevent erroring out.
Previously we had the behaviour for model settings so that when you try and set a model, it runs a test and returns an error if it can't run the test successfully. The error then prevents you from setting the site setting.
This results in some issues when we try and automate things. This PR updates that so that the test runs and discreetly logs the changes, but doesn't prevent the setting from being set. Instead we rely on "run test" in the LLM config along with ProblemChecks to catch issues.
Previous version was prone to the bug:
https://github.com/ruby-concurrency/concurrent-ruby/issues/1075
This is particularly bad cause we could have a DB connection
attached to the thread and we never clear it up, so after N hours
this could start exhibiting weird connection issues.
- Add spam_score_type to AiSpamSerializer for better integration with reviewables.
- Introduce a custom filter for detecting AI spam false negatives in moderation workflows.
- Refactor spam report generation to improve identification of false negatives.
- Add tests to verify the custom filter and its behavior.
- Introduce links for all spam counts in report
This commit adds an "unavailable" state for the AI semantic search toggle. Currently the AI toggle disappears when the sort by is anything but Relevance which makes the UI confusing for users looking for AI results. This should help!
In a previous refactor, we moved the responsibility of querying and storing embeddings into the `Schema` class. Now, it's time for embedding generation.
The motivation behind these changes is to isolate vector characteristics in simple objects to later replace them with a DB-backed version, similar to what we did with LLM configs.
* REFACTOR: A Simpler way of interacting with embeddings' tables.
This change adds a new abstraction called `Schema`, which acts as a repository that supports the same DB features `VectorRepresentation::Base` has, with the exception that removes the need to have duplicated methods per embeddings table.
It is also a bit more flexible when performing a similarity search because you can pass it a block that gives you access to the builder, allowing you to add multiple joins/where conditions.
