If I change the LLM do all the posts get retranslated? I was using a LLM hosted on groq, it was about 95% done when I started getting errors. After investigating it I realized that groq had deprecated the model I was using. So I setup a new model in groq and then updated the model parameters in dis…

Depende, por exemplo, se você traduzir usando um modelo da Gemini e depois mudar pra um outro, você estará criando um novo cache de palavras, na minha experiencia eu preferir manter três rota, duas com o mesmo modelo e agora ativei um gemini flash lite pra novos conteúdos e até agora sem problemas.

[image] RBoy: So I’m trying to figure out what happens when the LLM parameters change? Does it start the translations all over again from scratch? If so is there any way to prevent it from doing that and just picking up from where it left off? Old translations are kept, new LLM will only do t…

@Falco if I set the reasoning effort to none I get this error: DiscourseAi::Translation: Failed to translate topic 5898 to fr: {“error”:{“message”:“reasoning_effort must be one of low, medium, or high”,“type”:“invalid_request_error”}} What setting are you referring to ?

So it’s been about 24 hours now, I don’t see any translations happenings in the logs, no errors, no successes for the last 24 hours. However the dashboard is showing that the translations are incomplete. [image] I’ve tried to disable and renable the automatic translations toggle but that didn’t …
