Local LLM endpoints other than Ollama Integration Support

[athulchandroth]

Description

Expand local model support beyond Ollama to include other local LLM platforms like LMStudio and AnythingLLM.

Current Status (from team response)

• Ollama support is currently implemented
• Planning to add custom endpoint support in next version
• Will focus on OpenAI-compatible API endpoints

Impact

• Limited options for users who want to run models locally
• Users of LMStudio and AnythingLLM cannot use their preferred platforms
• Dependency on specific local LLM platform (Ollama)

Acceptance Criteria

1. Support for OpenAI-compatible API endpoints
2. Integration with common local LLM platforms:
   • LMStudio
   • AnythingLLM
   • Other OpenAI-compatible endpoints
3. Easy configuration UI for endpoint settings
4. Proper error handling for endpoint connectivity
5. Documentation for setting up different local LLM platforms

Implementation Phases

1. Phase 1 (Current):

   • Ollama support maintained

2. Phase 2 (Next Version):

   • Add custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint support
   • Create configuration interface
   • Add endpoint validation

3. Phase 3 (Future):

   • Expand to additional local LLM platforms
   • Add platform-specific optimizations

Priority

Medium - Currently has partial solution with Ollama support

Notes

• Focus will be on OpenAI-compatible endpoints for maximum compatibility
• Will enable users to use their preferred local LLM setup
• Builds on existing Ollama integration experience
