Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/1166

How are you running AnythingLLM?

All versions

What happened?

Azure OpenAI can only be setup in system default LLM Preference.

But I want to specify it for a single workspace and realize that it is not available in the drop down list.

Issue found in both Windows Desktop v1.5.0 and Docker in Linux.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

  1. Create a Workspace
  2. Go to Chat Settings - Workspace LLM Provider
  3. There is no option for 'Azure OpenAI'

AnythingLLM macOS version v1.5.0 also don't have an option 'Azure OpenAI' on the LLM provider dropdown on Workspace settings

but what's the reasoning?

@spiveym It was because we use the process.env for keeping track of the model preference and the dropdown for the model selector is, well, a dropdown - so we can't use /models to enum the available models.

We need a combobox component that we can use for free-form + available models so we can support providers with many models at one time specifically those who dont support /models

It is possible to select Azure OpenAI as Workspace LLM Provider in Chat Settings - at least since 1.8.2.

Is this issue still to be considered as "Open"?

@ridvan70 Thanks for pointing that out. It was certainly done at least since 1.6.x but I bet this issue just wasnt tied when we closed the original issue. This is a dupe - will close it now
