Hi @dkotter, I tried testing this PR using the “Try it in Playground” button, but it doesn’t seem to be working. When Playground opens, it shows a “Blueprint execution failed” error and isn’t able to download/install the plugin from the CI artifact URL.

@dkotter PlayGround button is not working

@itsgajendraSingh @raftaar1191 The Playground link should work now. Note the GitHub Action that adds that Playground link is a bit flakey and doesn't seem to always work when a new commit is pushed (seems to fairly often update the referenced build even if that build doesn't exist). I'd recommend for best results to just pull the PR down and test locally. |

Its not immediately clear when clicking the new gear icon and its color/state changing is doing (even with the "Developer mode" on-hover text). So perhaps we switch to the vertical ellipses like Gutenberg and add one item there to select/check/enable for "Model selection" with description of "Select the specific provider and model per feature"?
This has been updated now (also updated screenshots in the PR description). I did add this menu item in a |

The model dropdown appears to be missing its down carret and then when a model is selected the X looks misaligned as well:
…select. Add a class to our reset button so we can target that specifically for style changes to avoid having those styles leak
Misalignment was my fault, overaggressive CSS that was impacting that which I've fixed now. For the missing caret, this is actually expected here. This page is using So what you're seeing here is you can click into the input and start typing and it will show you options that match. But that means it's slightly different than a normal select that just shows you dropdown items (and that will render that caret). That said, for now I've forced these inputs to always use the normal |

Instead of having all of this behind the loading animation, can the Provider label be immediate and the loading animation is the placeholder just for that dropdown?
… hiding everything behind the loading spinner
Updated now to show the label with the spinner icon below instead of hiding everything with that spinner |

What?
Add a new "developer mode" option on the settings page that when toggled on, shows a new settings section on each feature that allows you to choose the desired provider and model.
Why?
While the average user may not care about the actual model being used for a feature (and likely won't know the difference between the dozens of model options) there are certainly users and situations where setting the desired provider (and optionally model) is desired and beneficial.
Since we don't want to overwhelm users with settings they don't care about, we're hiding these new options behind a "developer mode" that can be toggled on and off.
