Hi! I’m going to (try) to setup AI plugin in my self hosted discourse (3.6.0). The first issue I encounter is that I can’t choose _default LLM model_ on drop down menu. There’s no options to select.

What I am missing? Thank you!

Okay, I feel embarrassed. To be honest, I’m a bit lost with all the options. Thank you!
