Getting Started
This guide takes you from a freshly installed platform to chatting with your own model. It assumes the platform is already running; if not, start with Installation.
1. Deploy a model
Open Models in the portal and create a deployment from a Model preset — pick a chat model from the list, give the deployment a name, and confirm. The platform places it on an available GPU and starts serving it.
No GPU at hand? Connect an external model (OpenAI, Azure, …) instead. It appears alongside in-cluster models and behaves the same from here on.
2. Open the chat
Open the built-in Chat from the portal. It's ready to go — nothing to deploy or connect.
3. Pick your model and chat
Chat's model picker lists every chat-capable model you have access to. Select the one you just deployed and start talking to it.
(Only chat models appear here — embedding and reranker models are filtered out.)
