Hey guys,

> This is about a selfhosted instance

I´ve activated the Discourse AI Plugin and had a few problems there.  
Working in an enterprise environment and AI access is though an internal endpoint with additional authentication.  
I implemented an AWS API Gateway endpoint with a Lambda, that takes care of enriching the headers with the required auth info and pass the request on to the OPENAI compatible internal endpoint.

The

LLM Test gives me a

and I thought I´m good to go.

I also see the related calls in my CloudWatch Logs for the API Gateway call.

Then I related the Summarization Personas (Smmmarization and … (short form) with this LLM and activated the Topic Summarization.

What I´m seeing now, though, is not what I wanted to see 😃

And that´s not changing ☹

The strangest thing is, that I don´t see a request in CloudWatch Logs for the attempt to summarize.

Ok, again what I did.

- Activated AI
- Created vLLM with my API Gateway endpoint
- Created 2 Personas (see above) and related them with my LLM config
- Activated Summarization and related there the Persona (tried both)

Not sure what I can try next ☹

Thanks guys and Greetings,

JP
