I want to add a new “Chat Bot” and link it to a self hosted LLM.  
I have tried to use the “ai hugging face model display name” field and that doesn’t seem to appear anywhere, perhaps I have to reference that in the prompts associated with a persona?  
I have also tried to “create” a new bot via the “ai bot enable chat bots” drop down, and anything I create appear shows in the chatbot drop down as " [en.discourse\_ai.ai\_bot.bot\_names.XXXX] where XXXX is the name I provided.  
Any tips to any documentation or guide who to do this would be appreacaited.
