Description

Team, great project thx. Just getting up to speed. I have been struggling with understanding the appropriate strategy for chunking for my data. While I have no doubt there is a plan to add alternative chunking strategies in the short term I wanted to check you are ok with me doing a pull request to add some wording to the ext splitting & Chunking Preferences tab to explain that it uses LangChain's RecursiveCharacterTextSplit and a link to an explanation of that strategy - I am happy to do the pull request. Again awesome project - well done

I think a small link in the UI would be appropriate, but moreso a new page on a new page in the https://docs.useanything.com/anythingllm-setup/embedder-configuration/overview page to explain more would be the best solution.

Those docs are open source so lengthy or wordy descriptions should for sure be offloaded there! https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anythingllm-docs

Opened PR Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm#5703 to clarify that the chunking preferences page currently uses LangChain's RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter and to link directly to the upstream strategy docs. This keeps the fix scoped to the existing admin settings copy, which is the exact place the issue called out.
