Is there a way to Add an API key from an LLM that is not from those listed? We use this LLM called Deepseek and would like to integrate it. Already have the Api keys etc.

Thanks, from my reading, {may have read it wrong) don’t I need a new Droplet [Digital Ocean] aka, VPS to deploy a VLLM? or can it be deployed on the same Droplet that hosts my Discourse Instance? If yes, on the same instance, would it be on the same directory as Discourse or a separate Directory? …

What exact droplet are you running your current Discourse site? The $6 one ?

The $15 one. I think it is 2 GB ram. Once we finish testing I will scale it up. Thanks
