1975262 - remove hugging chat from chatbot

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Machine Learning: General, enhancement)

Description

[Ed Lee :Mardak]

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: hugging chat is shutting down https://huggingface.co/spaces/huggingchat/chat-ui/discussions/747
we do have the ability to nimbus rollout remove huggingchat from the list, but we already have another chatbot rollout and experiments live using the nimbus feature -- but we can end the rollout and rollout a combined configuration that removes huggingchat

not sure if we need to do anything for existing users who have it selected but at least we can not show the choice in onboarding and menu

Tracking as requested, but the planned Fx140 dot release builds on 2025-07-07.
There is little time to get patches in for this.

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: probably also want this removed esr

rares, this is not directly page summarization related but could you verify this removing huggingchat from the onboarding and provider menu? for existing huggingchat, we'll separately address potentially with nimbus + messaging

This issue is verified as fixed in our latest Nightly 142.0a1 (2025-07-03). I did try a few scenarios for those that updated to our latest Nightly build and the Hugging chat is displayed until the user switches the provider after that it no longer shows up in the AI provider list or for Onboarding.
