===============

Default configuration of the :ref:`AI summary plugin <ai_summary plugin>`.
Users configure the LLM server URL (any server implementing the OpenAI chat
completions API: Ollama, vLLM, llama.cpp, LM Studio, Hugging Face TGI, ...)
and the model in the *AI Summary* tab of their preferences; the values below
only act as instance wide defaults.

.. code:: yaml

   ai_summary:
     base_url: "http://127.0.0.1:11434"
     model: "llama3.2:3b"

.. attention::

   A user configurable server URL allows any user of the instance to make the
   SearXNG server send requests to a URL of their choice (`SSRF`_), and each
   summary is real LLM work.  This plugin is intended for private instances --
   on a public instance lock the related preferences (:ref:`settings
   preferences`):

   .. code:: yaml

      preferences:
        lock:
          - ai_summary_server
          - ai_summary_model
          - ai_summary_grounding
