# LLM Model Configurations API

## Overview

This API provides LLM model configuration management for users and user groups with inheritance support.

### Key Features

- **User-level configurations**: Each user can have their own LLM model configurations
- **Group-level configurations**: User groups can share LLM model configurations
- **Inheritance**: Users automatically inherit configurations from their groups (when they have no own configs)
- **Default configuration**: Both users and groups can set a default configuration
- **API Key Encryption**: API keys are automatically encrypted in the database
- **Optimistic Locking**: Prevents concurrent modification conflicts using version tracking

### Inheritance Logic

```
User requests configs:
  ├─ Always return user's own configs (if any)
  └─ Always return inherited group configs (if any)
```

**Note:** Users can see both their own configurations AND configurations inherited from their groups. The `source` field in the response indicates the origin of each configuration.

### Configuration Priority

```
User's own config > User's group config
```

    "temperature": 0.7,
    "api_key": "sk-ant-xxx",
    "is_default": true
  }'
```

### 3. Get user's effective configurations (with inheritance)

```bash
curl -X GET http://localhost:3080/v3/access/users/{user_id}/llm-model-configs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"
```

**Response (user has both own configs and inherited group configs):**
```json
{
  "configs": [
    {
      "config_id": "uuid-1",
      "name": "GPT-4",
      "model_type": "text",
      "config": {
        "provider": "openai",
        "base_url": "https://api.openai.com/v1",
        "model": "gpt-4",
        "temperature": 0.7,
        "api_key": "sk-xxx"
      },
      "user_id": "uuid-user",
      "group_id": null,
      "is_default": true,
      "version": 0,
      "created_at": "2026-03-03T14:32:48.158880Z",
      "updated_at": "2026-03-03T14:32:48.158880Z",
      "source": "user",
      "group_name": null
    },
    {
      "config_id": "uuid-2",
      "name": "Claude-3",
      "model_type": "text",
      "config": {
        "provider": "anthropic",
        "base_url": "https://api.anthropic.com",
        "model": "claude-3-opus-20240229",
        "temperature": 0.7,
        "api_key": null
      },
      "user_id": null,
      "group_id": "uuid-group",
      "is_default": true,
      "version": 0,
      "created_at": "2026-03-03T14:32:48.158880Z",
      "updated_at": "2026-03-03T14:32:48.158880Z",
      "source": "group",
      "group_name": "Developers"
    }
  ],
  "default_config": {
    "config_id": "uuid-1",
    "name": "GPT-4",
    "model_type": "text",
    "config": {
      "provider": "openai",
      ...
    },
    "user_id": "uuid-user",
    "group_id": null,
    "is_default": true,
    "version": 0,
    ...
  },
  "total": 2
}
```

**Note:**
- User's own config shows `config.api_key: "sk-xxx"` (visible to owner)
- Inherited group config shows `config.api_key: null` (hidden from users)
- `source: "user"` indicates the config belongs to the user
- `source: "group"` indicates the config is inherited from a group
- Configuration fields are nested in the `config` object (same structure as group endpoints)

### 4. Get group configurations

```bash
curl -X GET http://localhost:3080/v3/access/groups/{group_id}/llm-model-configs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"
```

**Response:**
```json
{
  "configs": [
    {
      "config_id": "uuid-1",
      "name": "Claude-3",
      "model_type": "text",
      "config": {
        "provider": "anthropic",
        "base_url": "https://api.anthropic.com",
        "model": "claude-3-opus-20240229",
        "temperature": 0.7,
        "api_key": "sk-ant-xxx"
      },
      "user_id": null,
      "group_id": "uuid-group",
      "is_default": true,
      "version": 0,
      "created_at": "2026-03-03T12:00:00Z",
      "updated_at": "2026-03-03T12:00:00Z"
    },
    {
      "config_id": "uuid-2",
      "name": "GPT-4",
      "model_type": "text",
      "config": {
        "provider": "openai",
        "base_url": "https://api.openai.com/v1",
        "model": "gpt-4",
        "temperature": 0.7,
        "api_key": "sk-xxx"
      },
      "user_id": null,
      "group_id": "uuid-group",
      "is_default": false,
      "version": 0,
      "created_at": "2026-03-03T12:00:00Z",
      "updated_at": "2026-03-03T12:00:00Z"
    }
  ],
  "default_config": {
    "config_id": "uuid-1",
    "name": "Claude-3",
    "model_type": "text",
    "config": {
      "provider": "anthropic",
      ...
    },
    "user_id": null,
    "group_id": "uuid-group",
    "is_default": true,
    "version": 0,
    ...
  },
  "total": 2
}
```

**Note:** The response structure is the same as user endpoints, with `configs`, `default_config`, and `total` fields.

### 5. Update a configuration (without optimistic locking)

```bash
curl -X PUT http://localhost:3080/v3/access/users/{user_id}/llm-model-configs/{config_id} \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "temperature": 0.9,
    "max_tokens": 4000
  }'
```

### 6. Update a configuration (WITH optimistic locking)

**Best practice for avoiding concurrent modification conflicts:**

```bash
# Step 1: Read the config (get the current version)
curl -X GET http://localhost:3080/v3/access/users/{user_id}/llm-model-configs/own \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

# Response includes "version": 5

# Step 2: Update with expected_version
curl -X PUT http://localhost:3080/v3/access/users/{user_id}/llm-model-configs/{config_id} \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "temperature": 0.9,
    "max_tokens": 4000,
    "expected_version": 5
  }'

# Response includes incremented "version": 6
```

**If someone else modified the config before you:**

```json
HTTP 409 Conflict
{
  "detail": "Concurrent modification detected. Expected version 5, but current version is 6. Please retry."
}
```

**Client retry flow:**
1. Receive 409 Conflict error
2. Re-fetch the config to get the latest version
3. Apply your changes on top of the latest data
4. Retry the update with the new `expected_version`

### 7. Set default configuration

```bash
curl -X PUT http://localhost:3080/v3/access/users/{user_id}/llm-model-configs/default/{config_id} \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"
```

### 8. Get default configuration

Get the user's default configuration:

```bash
curl -X GET http://localhost:3080/v3/access/users/{user_id}/llm-model-configs/default \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"
```

**Note:** This endpoint only returns configurations explicitly marked with `is_default: true`. If no configuration is marked as default, it returns 404.

**Response:**
```json
{
  "config_id": "uuid-1",
  "name": "GPT-4",
  "model_type": "text",
  "config": {
    "provider": "openai",
    "base_url": "https://api.openai.com/v1",
    "model": "gpt-4",
    "temperature": 0.7,
    "api_key": "sk-xxx"
  },
  "user_id": "uuid-user",
  "group_id": null,
  "is_default": true,
  "version": 0,
  "created_at": "2026-03-03T18:15:00Z",
  "updated_at": "2026-03-03T18:15:00Z"
}
```

**If no default configuration is set:**

```json
HTTP 404 Not Found
{
  "detail": "No default LLM model configuration found for user '{user_id}'"
}
```

Get the group's default configuration:

```bash
curl -X GET http://localhost:3080/v3/access/groups/{group_id}/llm-model-configs/default \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"
```

The response format is the same as for users.

---

**Important Note:** This dedicated `/default` endpoint is different from the `default_config` field in the list response:
- `/default` endpoint: Requires explicit `is_default: true` flag, returns 404 if not found
- `default_config` field in list: Falls back to first config if no explicit default is marked

### 9. Delete a configuration

```bash
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:3080/v3/access/users/{user_id}/llm-model-configs/{config_id} \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"
```

---

## Error Codes

| Status | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| 200 | Success |
| 201 | Created |
| 204 | Deleted (no content) |
| 400 | Bad request |
| 401 | Unauthorized |
| 404 | Not found |
| **409** | **Conflict (optimistic lock violation)** |
| 500 | Server error |

### 409 Conflict Response

```json
{
  "detail": "Concurrent modification detected. Expected version 5, but current version is 6. Please retry."
}
```

---

## Concurrency Control

### Optimistic Locking

This API uses **optimistic locking** to prevent concurrent modification conflicts:

1. **Version Tracking**: Each configuration has a `version` field that starts at 0 and increments on each update
2. **Read-Modify-Write**: When updating, clients should include the `expected_version` from their last read
3. **Conflict Detection**: If the provided version doesn't match the current version, the update is rejected with HTTP 409

### When to Use Optimistic Locking

**Use `expected_version` when:**
- Multiple users/admins might modify the same configuration
- You want to prevent accidental overwrites of concurrent changes
- Building interactive UIs that display and edit configurations

**Skip `expected_version` when:**
- You're sure no one else is modifying the config
- Performance is more important than data integrity (not recommended)



---

## Security Notes

### API Key Encryption

All API keys are encrypted using Fernet symmetric encryption (AES-128-CBC). Encryption keys are stored in `{secrets_dir}/gns3_encryption_key` with 0600 permissions.

### Access Control

All endpoints require appropriate privileges:
- **User.Audit**: View user configurations
- **User.Modify**: Create, update, delete user configurations
- **Group.Audit**: View group configurations
- **Group.Modify**: Create, update, delete group configurations

### API Key Visibility

The API implements strict API key visibility controls to protect sensitive credentials:

| Scenario | User Configs | Group Configs |
|----------|-------------|---------------|
| User viewing own configs | **Visible** | **Hidden** |
| Admin viewing other users' configs | **Hidden** | **Hidden** |
| Viewing group configs directly | N/A | **Visible** |

**Rules:**
1. **Users viewing their own configs**: Can see API keys in their own configurations, but NOT in inherited group configurations
2. **Admins viewing other users' configs**: Cannot see API keys in any user configurations (user privacy)
3. **Viewing group configs**: Users with `Group.Audit` privilege can see API keys in group configurations

**Example:**
```json
// User viewing their own configs
{
  "configs": [
    {
      "config_id": "uuid-1",
      "name": "GPT-4",
      "source": "user",
      "config": {
        "api_key": "sk-xxx"  // Visible (own config)
      }
    },
    {
      "config_id": "uuid-2",
      "name": "Claude-3",
      "source": "group",
      "config": {
        "api_key": null      // Hidden (inherited from group)
      }
    }
  ]
}

// Admin viewing another user's configs
{
  "configs": [
    {
      "config_id": "uuid-1",
      "name": "GPT-4",
      "source": "user",
      "config": {
        "api_key": null      // Hidden (another user's config)
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

## Migration from Old User Settings API

The old user settings API (`/v3/access/users/{user_id}/profiles`) stored configurations in the `users.model_configs` JSON column. This new API uses a dedicated table with better inheritance support and optimistic locking.

**Migration strategy:**
1. Run the database migration to create the `llm_model_configs` table
2. Optionally migrate existing data from `users.model_configs` to the new table
3. Update clients to use the new API endpoints
4. Update clients to handle `version` field and 409 Conflict errors
5. Deprecate the old `/profiles` endpoints

**Key differences:**
- **Inheritance**: Users without configs inherit from groups (automatic fallback)
- **Optimistic locking**: New `version` field and `expected_version` parameter
- **Dedicated table**: Better query performance and data integrity
- **Transparent encryption**: API keys auto-encrypted/decrypted by the API
- **Model type support**: New `model_type` field for categorizing models (text, vision, stt, tts, multimodal, embedding, reranking, other)
- **Table-level indexing**: `name` and `model_type` stored as table columns for efficient filtering and querying

---

## Model Type Filtering

The `model_type` table column enables efficient filtering and querying of configurations by model type:

### Common Use Cases

1. **Filter by model type**: Retrieve only text generation models for chat features
2. **Multi-model applications**: Select appropriate model based on task type (text vs vision vs embedding)
3. **Model type analytics**: Query and analyze usage patterns by model type
4. **Type-specific defaults**: Set different default models for different model types

### Example: Filter text models (client-side)

```python
# After fetching configs, filter by model_type
configs = get_user_configs(user_id)
text_models = [c for c in configs if c["model_type"] == "text"]
vision_models = [c for c in configs if c["model_type"] == "vision"]
```

### Database Index

The `model_type` column is indexed for efficient queries:
```sql
CREATE INDEX idx_llm_model_configs_model_type ON llm_model_configs(model_type);
```

This enables fast lookups when filtering by model type, even with large datasets.

---

## Reserved Fields

The `llm_model_configs` table includes three reserved JSONB fields for future extensibility:

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `reserved_jsonb_1` | JSONB (nullable) | Reserved for future use |
| `reserved_jsonb_2` | JSONB (nullable) | Reserved for future use |
| `reserved_jsonb_3` | JSONB (nullable) | Reserved for future use |

**Purpose:** These fields are reserved for future feature development without requiring schema changes. They are currently unused in the API code but are available in the database layer for future enhancements.
