+# LiteLLM Setup for Nxtgauge
+
+## Overview
+LiteLLM is deployed as an API gateway to the internal Ollama service, providing OpenAI-compatible API endpoints.
+
+## Architecture
+- **Ollama**: Internal ClusterIP service at `ollama.nxtgauge-ai.svc.cluster.local:11434`
+- **LiteLLM**: ClusterIP service at `10.43.7.24:4000` (internal)
+- **Ingress**: Exposed at `https://llm.nxtgauge.com/v1` via Traefik
+- **Security**: API key required via `LITELLM_MASTER_KEY`
+
+## Master Key
+**Production Master Key**: `sk-litellm-prod-1c66d63e701c32cd85922a62fd2e087469486a9b7a34d950423a8726d0aceec9`
+
+⚠️ **IMPORTANT**: Store this key securely. It grants full access to the LLM API.
+
+## Model Aliases
+All aliases route to the same Ollama model (`gemma3:270m`):
+
+| Alias | Model | Timeout | Retries |
+|-------|-------|---------|---------|
+| `askash-main` | ollama/gemma3:270m | 300s | 2 |
+| `askash-fast` | ollama/gemma3:270m | 120s | 1 |
+| `coding-main` | ollama/gemma3:270m | 300s | 2 |
+

+```
+
+## OpenCode Configuration
+
+Create/edit `~/.config/opencode/opencode.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "baseURL": "https://llm.nxtgauge.com/v1",
+  "apiKey": "sk-litellm-prod-1c66d63e701c32cd85922a62fd2e087469486a9b7a34d950423a8726d0aceec9",
+  "models": {
+    "default": "askash-main",
+    "available": [
+      "askash-main",
+      "askash-fast",
+      "coding-main"
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Ask Ash Local Environment
+
+Create `.env.local` in your Ask Ash project:
+
+```bash
+# LiteLLM Provider Configuration
+LLM_PROVIDER=openai_compatible
+OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://llm.nxtgauge.com/v1
+OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-litellm-prod-1c66d63e701c32cd85922a62fd2e087469486a9b7a34d950423a8726d0aceec9
+LLM_MODEL=askash-main
+AI_DEBUG=true
+```
+
+## Promptfoo Configuration
+
+Create `promptfooconfig.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+providers:
+  - id: openai
+    config:
+      apiBaseUrl: https://llm.nxtgauge.com/v1
+      apiKey: sk-litellm-prod-1c66d63e701c32cd85922a62fd2e087469486a9b7a34d950423a8726d0aceec9
+      model: askash-main
+```
+
+## DNS Configuration (Cloudflare)
+
+Add DNS record in Cloudflare:
+- **Type**: A
+- **Name**: llm
+- **Content**: Your cluster external IP (check with `kubectl get svc -n kube-system traefik`)
+- **TTL**: Auto
+- **Proxy Status**: DNS only (for testing), then enable after TLS works
+
+## Security Notes
+
+1. ✅ Ollama is NOT exposed publicly (ClusterIP only)
+2. ✅ LiteLLM requires API key authentication
+3. ✅ TLS enabled via cert-manager/Let's Encrypt
+4. ✅ Rate limiting enabled (100 req/min avg, 50 burst)
+5. ⚠️ Master key is stored in Kubernetes Secret (not in Git)
+
+## Management Commands
+
+```bash
+# Check LiteLLM status
+kubectl get pods -n nxtgauge-ai -l app=litellm
+
+# View logs
+kubectl logs -n nxtgauge-ai -l app=litellm --tail=100 -f
+
+# Restart LiteLLM
+kubectl rollout restart deployment litellm -n nxtgauge-ai
+
+# Get master key
+kubectl get secret litellm-secrets -n nxtgauge-ai -o jsonpath='{.data.LITELLM_MASTER_KEY}' | base64 -d
+
+# Edit configuration
+kubectl edit configmap litellm-config -n nxtgauge-ai
+
+# Port-forward for local testing
+kubectl port-forward svc/litellm 4000:4000 -n nxtgauge-ai
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Pod not starting
+```bash
+kubectl describe pod -n nxtgauge-ai -l app=litellm
+kubectl logs -n nxtgauge-ai -l app=litellm --previous
+```
+
+### Ollama unreachable
+```bash
+kubectl get svc -n nxtgauge-ai ollama
+kubectl exec -n nxtgauge-ai -it ollama-76fb847d46-b7pkp -- ollama list
+```
+
+### TLS not working
+```bash
+kubectl get certificate -n nxtgauge-ai
+kubectl describe certificate -n nxtgauge-ai litellm-tls
+```
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+1. Add more Ollama models and configure model-specific aliases
+2. Implement request/response caching with Redis
+3. Add Prometheus metrics for observability
+4. Configure team-based API keys for multi-user access
+5. Add request logging and usage analytics
+6. Implement token-based billing/quota management

+## Implementation Status
+
+### Completed
+- ✅ Phase 1: Database migration (`20260614233620_ai_plans_and_limits`)
+- ✅ Phase 2: Core AI services in `apps/users/src/ai/`
+  - `plans.rs` — subscription management, plan/feature/model checks, customer role blocking

+## Key Decisions
+
+- LiteLLM is internal gateway only
+- Ollama is internal model runtime only
+- Ramaris handles AI workloads
+- Customer role has NO AI features
+- Credits are feature-based, not token-based
+- LLM suggests, backend decides and executes
+- Automation has 3 phases: suggest → approve → auto-execute
+- Free plan is auto-created on first AI access for non-customer users

+# AI Plans Implementation Plan for Nxtgauge
+
+## 1. Goal
+Add per-user AI plans with API keys and usage tracking for Ask Ash.
+
+## 2. User Flow
+1. User registers → gets a default Free plan
+2. System generates one API key per user
+3. User sends AI requests with their API key
+4. Backend validates key, checks plan limits, forwards to LiteLLM
+5. Usage is logged and credits are deducted
+
+## 3. Plan Tiers
+
+| Plan | Monthly Credits | Models | RPM | Max Tokens |
+|------|-----------------|--------|-----|------------|
+| Free | 100 | askash-fast, help-assistant, messenger | 10 | 1000 |
+| Pro | 1000 | all 4B models | 60 | 4000 |
+| Business | 5000 | all models (4B + 8B) | 120 | 8000 |
+| Enterprise | 50000 | all + priority | unlimited | 32000 |
+
+## 4. Database Tables

+- `generate_key(user_id)` → returns `(full_key, hash, prefix)`
+- `validate_key(provided_key, stored_hash)` → bool
+- `save_key(user_id, hash, prefix)` → store in DB
+- `get_active_key_for_user(user_id)` → Option<ApiKey>
+
+### 6.2 PlanService
+- `get_plan_by_name(name)` → AiPlan
+- `create_subscription(user_id, plan_name)` → setup initial subscription
+- `can_use_model(user_id, model)` → bool

+# AI Plans API Key Management for Nxtgauge
+
+## Overview
+Each user gets a unique API key to track usage and enforce plan limits.
+
+## API Key Structure
+
+```
+User ID: user_12345
+Plan: free | pro | enterprise
+API Key: sk-nxtgauge-user_12345-abc123xyz
+```
+
+## Implementation Approach
+
+Since LiteLLM Community Edition has limited virtual key features, 
+we'll implement a custom middleware/proxy approach:
+
+### Backend Implementation (Rust/Node.js)
+
+1. **User Registration** → Generate API key
+2. **API Key Validation** → Check against database
+3. **Usage Tracking** → Increment counters per request
+4. **Rate Limiting** → Enforce plan limits
+
+### Database Schema
+
+```sql
+-- Users table
+CREATE TABLE users (
+    id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
+    email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE,
+    plan_type VARCHAR(50), -- 'free', 'pro', 'enterprise'
+    api_key VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE,
+    ai_credits_remaining INTEGER DEFAULT 100,
+    monthly_usage_tokens INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
+    created_at TIMESTAMP
+);
+
+-- AI Usage tracking
+CREATE TABLE ai_usage (
+    id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
+    user_id UUID REFERENCES users(id),
+    model VARCHAR(100), -- 'askash-fast', 'askash-main', etc.
+    tokens_input INTEGER,
+    tokens_output INTEGER,
+    request_type VARCHAR(100), -- 'help', 'resume', 'jd', etc.
+    created_at TIMESTAMP
+);
+
+-- API Keys table (for rotation)
+CREATE TABLE api_keys (
+    id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
+    user_id UUID REFERENCES users(id),
+    key_hash VARCHAR(255),
+    is_active BOOLEAN DEFAULT true,
+    created_at TIMESTAMP,
+    expires_at TIMESTAMP
+);
+```
+
+### Plan Tiers
+
+| Plan | Price | Credits | Models Available | Rate Limit |
+|------|-------|---------|------------------|------------|
+| **Free** | $0 | 100/month | askash-fast only | 10 req/min |
+| **Pro** | $9/mo | 1000/month | All 4B models | 60 req/min |
+| **Business** | $29/mo | 5000/month | All models incl 8B | 120 req/min |
+| **Enterprise** | Custom | Unlimited | All + Priority | Unlimited |
+
+### API Key Generation (Example in Rust)
+
+```rust
+use uuid::Uuid;
+use rand::{distributions::Alphanumeric, Rng};
+
+pub fn generate_api_key(user_id: &str) -> String {
+    let random_suffix: String = rand::thread_rng()
+        .sample_iter(&Alphanumeric)
+        .take(24)
+        .map(char::from)
+        .collect();
+    
+    format!("sk-nxtgauge-{}-{}", user_id, random_suffix)
+}
+
+// Example: sk-nxtgauge-user_12345-aBc3xYz9mNqP7rStUvWxYz12
+```
+
+### API Middleware Flow
+
+```
+User Request (with API key)
+    ↓
+[Nginx/Traefik Ingress]
+    ↓
+[API Gateway - Validate Key]
+    ↓
+[Check Plan & Limits]
+    ├─ Check credits remaining
+    ├─ Check rate limit (Redis)
+    └─ Check model access
+    ↓
+[Route to LiteLLM]
+    ↓
+[Track Usage]
+    ├─ Decrement credits
+    ├─ Log usage to DB
+    └─ Update metrics
+    ↓
+[Return Response]
+```
+
+### Model Access by Plan
+
+```yaml
+free_tier:
+  models:
+    - askash-fast      # qwen3:4b
+    - help-assistant   # qwen3:4b
+    - messenger        # qwen3:4b
+  max_tokens_per_request: 1000
+  
+pro_tier:
+  models:
+    - askash-fast
+    - askash-main      # qwen3:8b
+    - help-assistant
+    - jd-generator     # qwen3:8b
+    - profile-writer   # qwen3:8b
+    - recommender      # qwen3:4b
+  max_tokens_per_request: 4000
+  
+business_tier:
+  models:
+    - ALL_MODELS
+  max_tokens_per_request: 8000
+  
+enterprise_tier:
+  models:
+    - ALL_MODELS
+    - PRIORITY_QUEUE
+  max_tokens_per_request: 32000
+```
+
+### Cost Calculation (Per 1K tokens)
+
+Since we're running local Ollama:
+- Cost is compute-based, not API-based
+- Track by GPU time or request duration
+- Alternative: flat rate per request type
+
+```rust
+// Example pricing (based on compute cost)
+const PRICING: &[(str, f64)] = &[
+    ("askash-fast", 0.001),      // $0.001 per 1K tokens
+    ("askash-main", 0.005),      // $0.005 per 1K tokens
+    ("jd-generator", 0.008),     // $0.008 per 1K tokens
+    ("profile-writer", 0.008),   // $0.008 per 1K tokens
+];
+```
+
+### Usage Endpoints for Frontend
+
+```javascript
+// Get user's current usage
+GET /api/v1/ai/usage
+Headers: Authorization: Bearer sk-nxtgauge-user_12345-...
+
+Response:
+{
+  "plan": "pro",
+  "credits_remaining": 750,
+  "credits_used_this_month": 250,
+  "requests_today": 45,
+  "rate_limit": {
+    "requests_per_minute": 60,
+    "current_window": "58/60"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Implementation in Existing Backend
+
+Add to your Rust backend:
+
+1. **Migration**: Add `api_key`, `ai_plan`, `ai_credits` columns to users table
+2. **Middleware**: Create `AiAuthMiddleware` to validate keys
+3. **Service**: Create `AiUsageService` to track and limit
+4. **Endpoints**: 
+   - POST /api/v1/ai/chat (with API key auth)
+   - GET /api/v1/ai/usage
+   - POST /api/v1/ai/upgrade (change plan)
+
+### Quick Start Commands
+
+```bash
+# Generate API key for user
+curl -X POST https://api.nxtgauge.com/v1/ai/keys \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $USER_JWT" \
+  -d '{"plan": "pro"}'
+
+# Use API key
+curl https://llm.nxtgauge.com/v1/chat/completions \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-nxtgauge-user_12345-abc123" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "model": "askash-main",
+    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Help with my resume"}]
+  }'
+```
+
+## Files to Create
+
+1. `/src/services/ai_usage.rs` - Usage tracking service
+2. `/src/middleware/ai_auth.rs` - API key validation
+3. `/src/models/ai_plan.rs` - Plan definitions
+4. Database migrations for API keys and usage tables
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Choose: Build custom middleware OR use LiteLLM Enterprise
+2. Create database migrations
+3. Implement API key generation
+4. Add usage tracking middleware
+5. Create billing integration
+
+## LiteLLM Alternative
+
+For simpler setup, LiteLLM Enterprise ($500/mo) provides:
+- Built-in virtual keys
+- Usage dashboards
+- Team management
+- Budget controls
+- SSO/SAML
+
+But custom implementation gives more control and lower cost.

+
+## Phase 4: Middleware (Week 2)
+
+### 4.1 API Key Extraction
+

+}
+```
+
+## Phase 5: Integration (Week 3)
+
+### 5.1 Frontend Changes
+
+```typescript
+// Frontend API client
+
+class AiClient {
+  private apiKey: string;
+  
+  constructor(apiKey: string) {
+    this.apiKey = apiKey;
+  }
+  
+  async chatCompletion(model: string, message: string): Promise<AIResponse> {
+    const response = await fetch('/api/v1/ai/chat', {
+      method: 'POST',
+      headers: {
+        'Authorization': `Bearer ${this.apiKey}`,
+        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
+      },
+      body: JSON.stringify({
+        model,
+        messages: [{ role: 'user', content: message }],
+        request_type: 'help',
+      }),
+    });
+    
+    // Check for credit/rate limit headers
+    const creditsRemaining = response.headers.get('X-Credits-Remaining');
+    const rateLimitRemaining = response.headers.get('X-RateLimit-Remaining');
+    
+    if (response.status === 402) {
+      throw new Error('Insufficient credits. Please upgrade.');
+    }
+    
+    if (response.status === 429) {
+      throw new Error('Rate limit exceeded. Please slow down.');
+    }
+    
+    return response.json();
+  }
+  
+  async getUsageStats(): Promise<UsageStats> {
+    const response = await fetch('/api/v1/ai/usage', {
+      headers: {
+        'Authorization': `Bearer ${this.jwtToken}`, // JWT for authenticated endpoints
+      },
+    });
+    return response.json();
+  }
+}
+```
+

+# Project Status Summary - Nxtgauge Infrastructure
+
+## Last Updated
+2026-06-15
+
+---
+
+## What Has Been Completed
+
+### 1. LiteLLM AI Gateway Deployment ✅
+- **Status**: Fully deployed and working
+- **Namespace**: `nxtgauge-ai`

+  - `apps/litellm/OPENCODE_CONNECT.md`
+
+### 2. Kubernetes Cluster Expansion ✅
+- Added 4th worker node: **nxtgauge-4 / Ramaris** (89.167.0.148)
+- All nodes labeled with character names:
+  - `nxtgauge-1` → **Rimuru** (control plane)
+  - `nxtgauge-2` → **Veldora** (worker)
+  - `nxtgauge-3` → **Diablo** (worker)
+  - `nxtgauge-4` → **Ramaris** (worker)
+- All nodes Ready and schedulable
+
+### 3. GHCR Registry Authentication ✅
+- Created `ghcr-regcred` secret in `nxtgauge` and `nxtgauge-ai` namespaces
+- Updated `registries.yaml` on all K3s nodes to authenticate with GHCR
+- Restarted K3s services on all nodes
+- All deployments now pulling images successfully from GitHub Container Registry
+
+### 4. Latest Code Deployed via GitHub Actions + Flux ✅
+All four repositories are live with their latest commits:
+
+| Repository | Branch | Commit | Status |
+|------------|--------|--------|--------|
+| nxtgauge-frontend-solid | high-performance | `3b8f75d` feat: add AI usage widget to user dashboard | ✅ Deployed |
+| nxtgauge-admin-solid | high-performance | `f511a3c` feat: add AI management page to admin panel | ✅ Deployed |
+| nxtgauge-ai-assistant | main | `4505d89` feat: add Ask Ash AI assistant implementation | ✅ Deployed |
+| nxtgauge-backend-rust | high-performance | `ba63736` feat: add AI management endpoints and LiteLLM support | ✅ Deployed |
+
+- Flux synced to latest gitops commit `c5b32538`
+- 22/22 deployments ready
+
+### 5. Ollama Models Downloaded ✅
+- `gemma3:270m` (291 MB) - original model
+- `qwen3:4b` (2.5 GB) - fast/general use
+- `qwen3:8b` (5.2 GB) - powerful/long-form generation
+
+### 6. OpenCode Configuration ✅
+- Updated OpenCode binary from `1.14.20` → `1.17.7`
+- Reverted config back to use **Ollama Cloud** with **Kimi K2.7**
+- Config file: `~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonc`
+
+### 7. AI Plans Implementation Plan ✅
+- Created detailed implementation plan:
+  - `docs/AI_PLANS_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md`
+  - `docs/AI_PLANS_FINAL_PLAN.md`
+- Plan covers:
+  - Database schema
+  - Plan tiers (Free/Pro/Business/Enterprise)
+  - API key generation
+  - Usage tracking
+  - Rate limiting
+  - Model access control
+  - Backend services architecture
+  - API endpoints
+  - Frontend integration
+  - Deployment steps
+
+---
+
+## What We Are Stuck At / Blocked On
+
+### 1. PostgreSQL for LiteLLM (Optional Advanced Tracking)
+- **Status**: Attempted but not critical
+- **Issue**: Tried to deploy PostgreSQL in `nxtgauge-ai` namespace for LiteLLM's built-in virtual key tracking, but it failed to schedule on the new node due to Longhorn CSI driver not being available on `nxtgauge-4`
+- **Impact**: LOW - This is not required. We are building our own API key/usage tracking system instead.
+- **Decision**: Skip LiteLLM-native virtual keys. Use custom backend implementation.
+
+### 2. AI Plans Implementation ✅
+- **Status**: Core backend implementation complete
+- **Completed**: Database migration, models, repositories, core services, LiteLLM integration, endpoint wiring, admin endpoints, cron jobs, AI credit packages, auto-apply/auto-request log endpoints
+- **Remaining**: Kubernetes env-var wiring (`AI_CREDIT_ADMIN_TOKEN`), real payment gateway integration, automated integration tests
+- **Next step**: Apply migrations in target environment and configure Kubernetes secrets
+
+---
+
+## Current System Health
+
+| Component | Status |
+|-----------|--------|
+| Kubernetes cluster | ✅ 4 nodes Ready |
+| Flux GitOps | ✅ Synced |
+| All 22 deployments | ✅ Running |
+| LiteLLM gateway | ✅ Running |
+| Ollama | ✅ Running |
+| AI Assistant | ✅ Running |
+| Frontend | ✅ Running |
+| Admin panel | ✅ Running |
+| 19 backend rust services | ✅ Running |
+
+---
+
+## Decisions Made
+
+1. ✅ Using **GitHub Container Registry (GHCR)** instead of `registry.nxtgauge.com`
+2. ✅ Using **GitHub Actions + Flux** instead of Forgejo/Gitea
+3. ✅ Using **custom API key/usage tracking** instead of LiteLLM Enterprise
+4. ✅ Using **qwen3:4b** as main fast model and **qwen3:8b** for long-form/power tasks
+5. ✅ Keeping **Ollama internal-only**, exposing only LiteLLM
+6. ✅ OpenCode using **Ollama Cloud Kimi K2.7**
+
+---
+
+## Next Recommended Actions
+
+1. **Run database migrations** for AI plans and credit packages (`cargo run -p db-migrate` or `sqlx migrate run`)
+2. **Configure `AI_CREDIT_ADMIN_TOKEN`** secret for payments service to credit AI credits via users admin endpoint
+3. **Add `LITELLM_BASE_URL` env var** for users service (default already points to cluster local service)
+4. **Credit purchase flow** — integrate real payment gateway with `/api/admin/ai/users/{id}/credits`
+5. **Add monitoring/alerting** for AI usage and credit thresholds
+

+# Get LiteLLM master key
+kubectl get secret litellm-secrets -n nxtgauge-ai -o jsonpath='{.data.LITELLM_MASTER_KEY}' | base64 -d
+```
+
+### Important Paths
+- GitOps repo: `/home/ashwin/nxtgauge-gitops`
+- Frontend repo: `/home/ashwin/nxtgauge-projects/nxtgauge-frontend-solid`
+- Backend repo: `/home/ashwin/nxtgauge-projects/nxtgauge-backend-rust`
+- Admin repo: `/home/ashwin/nxtgauge-projects/nxtgauge-admin-solid`
+- AI Assistant repo: `/home/ashwin/nxtgauge-projects/nxtgauge-ai-assistant`
+- AI plans plan: `/home/ashwin/nxtgauge-gitops/docs/AI_PLANS_FINAL_IMPLEMENTATION.md`
+
+---
+
+## Blockers Requiring User Input
+
+None currently. Core AI plans implementation is complete on the backend.
+
+---
+
+## Notes
+
+- The PostgreSQL deployment attempt left a `postgres-pvc` in `nxtgauge-ai` namespace. It can be cleaned up safely since we are not using it.
+- No git commits have been made during recent infrastructure changes unless explicitly requested.
+- All changes were applied directly to Kubernetes and config files.
+- Local `.opencode` plugin was updated, but OpenCode binary upgrade was done via built-in `opencode upgrade` command.
