Hello,

I can’t find these settings:

> [@Discourse](#):
>
> ### Configuring Discourse AI
> 
> LLM connections are now configured through the admin UI rather than site settings. Navigate to `/admin/plugins/discourse-ai/ai-llms` and add a new LLM:
> 
> 1. Click **New** to add a model
> 2. Select a **Provider** — choose **vLLM** , **Hugging Face** , or **Ollama** depending on your inference server

Any suggestion for trying out the AI translation feature with the help of an Ollama backend ?
