When an invalid model is set for embeddings, topics do not load even if embeddings is disabled.
Error:
## RuntimeError in TopicsController#show
Invalid embeddings selected model
This commit checks for valid settings before attempting to load related topics.
We have a flag to signal we are shortening the embeddings of a model.
Only used in Open AI's text-embedding-3-*, but we plan to use it for other services.
* Use AR model for embeddings features
* endpoints
* Embeddings CRUD UI
* Add presets. Hide a couple more settings
* system specs
* Seed embedding definition from old settings
* Generate search bit index on the fly. cleanup orphaned data
* support for seeded models
* Fix run test for new embedding
* fix selected model not set correctly
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.
We are adding a new method for generating and storing embeddings in bulk, which relies on `Concurrent::Promises::Future`. Generating an embedding consists of three steps:
Prepare text
HTTP call to retrieve the vector
Save to DB.
Each one is independently executed on whatever thread the pool gives us.
We are bringing a custom thread pool instead of the global executor since we want control over how many threads we spawn to limit concurrency. We also avoid firing thousands of HTTP requests when working with large batches.
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.
1. on failure we were queuing a job to generate embeddings, it had the wrong params. This is both fixed and covered in a test.
2. backfill embedding in the order of bumped_at, so newest content is embedded first, cover with a test
3. add a safeguard for hidden site setting that only allows batches of 50k in an embedding job run
Previously old embeddings were updated in a random order, this changes it so we update in a consistent order
* 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
In https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/24740, `min_trust_to_create_topic` site setting was replaced by `create_topic_allowed_groups`. This PR replaces the former, deprecated one, with the latter.

There will soon be additional login_required checks
for Guardian, and the intent of many checks by automated
systems is better fulfilled by using BasicUser, which
simulates a logged in TL0 forum user, rather than an
anon user.
