Apologies for the lack of a reply! I remember reading it now, but I have no idea why I didn’t write back 😵‍💫. And I’m on a droplet so that isn’t the issue.

I have no doubt about its stability and quality; in fact, I quite like the plugin and I respect you and the effort you put into it. However, a chatbot is only a partial need for my business venture. The AI Helper is a core necessity, as well as is the ability to immediately change between models. In the near future I will be deploying my own fine-tuned model and manually setting up my LLMs and this is mission-critical.

I’m only explaining all of this so that you don’t think I have something against your work! 😁 Rather, the problem is from my side; I’m trying to do something quite niche.
