Debanjum 8679294bed Remove need to set server chat settings from use openai proxies docs
This was previously required, but now it's only usefuly for more
advanced settings, not typical for self-hosting users.

With recent updates, the user's selected chat model is used for both
Khoj's train of thought and response. This makes it easy to
switch your preferred chat model directly from the user settings
page and not have to update this in the admin panel as well.

Reflect these code changse in the docs, by removing the unnecessary
step for self-hosted users to create a server chat setting when using
an OpenAI proxy service like Ollama, LiteLLM etc.

Use OpenAI Proxy

:::info This is only helpful for self-hosted users. If you're using Khoj Cloud, you're limited to our first-party models. :::

:::info Khoj natively supports local LLMs available on HuggingFace in GGUF format. Using an OpenAI API proxy with Khoj maybe useful for ease of setup, trying new models or using commercial LLMs via API. :::

Khoj can use any OpenAI API compatible server including Ollama, LMStudio and LiteLLM. Configuring this allows you to use non-standard, open or commercial, local or hosted LLM models for Khoj

Combine them with Khoj can turn your favorite LLM into an AI agent. Allowing you to chat with your docs, find answers from the internet, build custom agents and run automations.

For specific integrations, see our Ollama, LMStudio and LiteLLM setup docs. For general instructions to setup Khoj with an OpenAI API proxy see below.
