LLM Proxy Implementation Summary

🎯 IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETE: z.ai Proxy Integration

This document summarizes the successful implementation of LLM proxy support for Terraphim AI, specifically targeting the z.ai proxy service for Anthropic models.

✅ What Was Implemented

1. Enhanced OpenRouter Service (`crates/terraphim_service/src/openrouter.rs`)

Automatic z.ai Detection: Detects Anthropic models and automatically uses z.ai proxy when ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL is set
Smart API Key Selection: Prioritizes ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN over ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for z.ai proxy
Model Pattern Matching: Supports both anthropic/claude-* and claude-* model naming patterns
Fallback Support: Falls back to direct OpenRouter endpoint when z.ai proxy is not configured

2. Enhanced Rust-GenAI Client (`crates/terraphim_multi_agent/src/genai_llm_client.rs`)

Custom Base URL Support: Fixed from_config_with_url() method to actually use custom URLs
Environment Variable Configuration: Automatically sets ANTHROPIC_API_BASE, OPENROUTER_API_BASE, OLLAMA_BASE_URL
Auto-Proxy Detection: New from_config_with_auto_proxy() method for automatic environment detection
Provider-Specific Configuration: Handles z.ai proxy specifically for Anthropic models

3. Unified LLM Proxy Service (`crates/terraphim_service/src/llm_proxy.rs`)

Centralized Proxy Management: Single service for managing all LLM provider proxies
Auto-Configuration: Automatically detects and configures proxies from environment variables
Connectivity Testing: Built-in testing for proxy endpoints and fallback mechanisms
Comprehensive Logging: Detailed logging for debugging proxy configurations
Flexible Configuration: Support for custom timeouts, retries, and fallback settings

4. Configuration Templates and Integration

Environment Template: Updated templates/env.terraphim.template with z.ai proxy variables
1Password Integration: Added ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL and ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN to setup scripts
CI/CD Support: Updated GitHub Actions template to count proxy environment variables

5. Comprehensive Testing Suite

Unit Tests: 15+ unit tests covering proxy configuration, URL resolution, and error handling
Integration Tests: End-to-end tests for proxy functionality with environment variable cleanup
OpenRouter Tests: Specific tests for z.ai proxy integration with OpenRouter service
Mock Environment Testing: Test utilities for safe environment variable manipulation

6. Documentation and Guides

Configuration Guide: Complete setup and troubleshooting documentation
Usage Examples: Practical examples for different proxy configurations
Migration Guide: Step-by-step instructions for migrating from direct API access
Security Considerations: Best practices for credential management and network security

🔧 Technical Implementation Details

Environment Variable Support

# z.ai Proxy Configuration
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.z.ai/api/anthropic
ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=your-z-ai-auth-token

# Fallback Direct API (optional)
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-anthropic-api-key

# Other Provider Proxies
OPENROUTER_BASE_URL=https://custom-proxy.example.com/api/v1
OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://custom-ollama:11434

Automatic Detection Logic

The system automatically detects proxy configuration based on:

Model Type: Anthropic models (anthropic/* or claude-*) trigger z.ai proxy detection
Environment Variables: Presence of ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL enables proxy mode
URL Pattern: URLs containing "z.ai" are recognized as z.ai proxy endpoints
Authentication: ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN is preferred over ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for z.ai

Provider Support Matrix

🚀 Usage Examples

Basic Auto-Configuration

use terraphim_service::llm_proxy::LlmProxyClient;

// Automatically detects z.ai proxy from environment
let client = LlmProxyClient::new("anthropic".to_string())?;
client.log_configuration();

OpenRouter with z.ai Proxy

use terraphim_service::openrouter::OpenRouterService;

// Automatically uses z.ai proxy for Anthropic models
let service = OpenRouterService::new("api-key", "anthropic/claude-3-sonnet-20240229")?;

Custom Proxy Configuration

use terraphim_service::llm_proxy::{LlmProxyClient, ProxyConfig};

let mut client = LlmProxyClient::new("anthropic".to_string())?;
let config = ProxyConfig::new("anthropic".to_string(), "claude-3-sonnet".to_string())
    .with_base_url("https://api.z.ai/api/anthropic".to_string())
    .with_api_key("your-token".to_string())
    .with_fallback(true);

client.configure(config);

🔍 Testing Results

Compilation Status: ✅ All Components Compile Successfully

terraphim_service: ✅ Compiles with proxy module
terraphim_multi_agent: ✅ Compiles with enhanced proxy support
openrouter feature: ✅ Compiles with z.ai proxy integration

Test Results:

Unit Tests: ✅ All proxy configuration tests pass
Environment Tests: ✅ Auto-configuration tests pass
Multi-Agent Tests: ✅ Proxy URL resolution tests pass

🎯 Environment Variable Integration

Your current environment variables are now fully supported:

# These are now automatically detected and used:
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.z.ai/api/anthropic
ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=183bb19e144c4214a8b539f30ec264f7.bAuUSgtvpGZUwJ76

How it works:

OpenRouter Service: Detects Anthropic models → uses z.ai proxy URL and auth token
Rust-GenAI Client: Sets environment variables → creates client with proxy configuration
Proxy Service: Auto-configures from environment → provides unified interface
