Create AI Configs

Overview

This topic explains how to create and update AI Configs.

Working with AI Configs is available to members with a role that allows AI Config actions. The LaunchDarkly Project Admin, Maintainer, and Developer project roles, as well as the Admin and Owner base roles, include this permission.

Create an AI Config

An AI Config is a resource that you create in LaunchDarkly. You can use AI Configs to customize, test, and roll out new large language models (LLMs) within your generative AI applications.

Follow the steps below to create an AI Config, or use the in-app onboarding experience to set up your first AI Config directly in the LaunchDarkly UI.

  1. Click Create and choose AI Config to open the “Create AI Config” dialog:

    The "Create an AI Config" dialog.

    The "Create an AI Config" dialog.

  2. Give your AI Config a human-readable Name.

    • An AI Config contains a set of variations. Each variation includes a model configuration and, optionally, one or more messages. The Name you choose should reflect what this set of variations will do. You can update it later.

  3. (Optional) Click Edit key and update the AI Config Key. You’ll use this key to reference the AI Config in your code. A suggested key is auto-populated from the name you enter, but you can change it.

    AI Config keys cannot be modified

    After you create the AI Config, you cannot modify its key, but you can still change its name.

  4. Set or confirm the Maintainer of the AI Config.

  5. Click Create.

Now that you have an AI Config, you can start creating variations. You can also update additional details.

Update AI Config details

When you create an AI Config, only the name and key are required initially. You can also add or update other details, including the AI Config’s description and tags.

To update an AI Config’s details:

  1. Navigate to the details page for the AI Config.
  2. In the right sidebar, click Choose maintainer to add a maintainer. To remove an existing maintainer, click the x next to the maintainer’s name.
  3. In the right sidebar, click the pencil icon next to the other details you want to change.
    • You can update the Name and Description by editing the text of each.
    • You can update the Tags by adding or removing tags. When you add a tag to an AI Config, you can use an existing tag or create a new one.
Use tags to group and manage AI Configs

Tags are useful for managing permissions using custom roles. For example, you can use a specific tag to determine who can update this AI Config. To learn more, read Roles.
