Replacing a Discontinued Groq Model — How I Restored All AI‑Powered Features in VS

Описание и применение

В результате замены устаревшей модели Groq на openai/gpt‑oss‑120b и добавления конфигурации через переменные окружения все AI‑функции VS восстановлены с минимальными изменениями кода.

Задача

The Groq "llama‑3.3‑70b‑versatile" model was retired, causing all AI helper endpoints in VS to return 404 errors and break features such as property description generation, rent‑price suggestions, and virtual‑tour script generation.

Результат

All AI‑powered features in VS were restored by switching to an open‑source model, adding environment‑based configuration, and updating call sites with minimal code changes.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Centralised model configuration by adding DEFAULT_MODEL from GROQ_MODEL env variable in groq.helper.ts.
• 2. Updated helper to use chat/completions endpoint and include model in request body.
• 3. Added optional options parameter for caller‑specific settings (e.g., temperature).
• 4. Updated virtual‑tour service to pass higher temperature (0.9).
• 5. Committed minimal changes (12 added, 3 removed).
• 6. Deployed updated code, restoring AI features.

I swapped it for the open‑source “openai/gpt‑oss‑120b” model, added version‑guard logic and updated the virtual‑tour service, getting the IA pipeline back online in a single commit.
