Cluster privileges: manage_inference

Path parameters

task_type string

The type of the inference task that the model will perform. NOTE: The chat_completion task type only supports streaming and only through the _stream API.

Values are chat_completion, completion, or text_embedding.

Body

chunking_settings object

Chunking configuration object
Hide chunking_settings attributes Show chunking_settings attributes object
- max_chunk_size number
  
  The maximum size of a chunk in words. This value cannot be higher than 300 or lower than 20 (for sentence strategy) or 10 (for word strategy).
- overlap number
  
  The number of overlapping words for chunks. It is applicable only to a word chunking strategy. This value cannot be higher than half the max_chunk_size value.
- sentence_overlap number
  
  The number of overlapping sentences for chunks. It is applicable only for a sentence chunking strategy. It can be either 1 or 0.
- strategy string
  
  The chunking strategy: sentence or word.
service string Required

Value is openai.
service_settings object Required
Hide service_settings attributes Show service_settings attributes object
- api_key string Required
  
  A valid API key of your OpenAI account. You can find your OpenAI API keys in your OpenAI account under the API keys section.
  
  IMPORTANT: You need to provide the API key only once, during the inference model creation. The get inference endpoint API does not retrieve your API key. After creating the inference model, you cannot change the associated API key. If you want to use a different API key, delete the inference model and recreate it with the same name and the updated API key.
  
  External documentation
- dimensions number
  
  The number of dimensions the resulting output embeddings should have. It is supported only in text-embedding-3 and later models. If it is not set, the OpenAI defined default for the model is used.
- model_id string Required
  
  The name of the model to use for the inference task. Refer to the OpenAI documentation for the list of available text embedding models.
  
  External documentation
- organization_id string
  
  The unique identifier for your organization. You can find the Organization ID in your OpenAI account under Settings > Organizations.
- rate_limit object
  
  This setting helps to minimize the number of rate limit errors returned from the service.

  requests_per_minute number
  
  The number of requests allowed per minute. By default, the number of requests allowed per minute is set by each service as follows:

Request examples

Run `PUT _inference/text_embedding/openai-embeddings` to create an inference endpoint that performs a `text_embedding` task. The embeddings created by requests to this endpoint will have 128 dimensions.

{ "service": "openai", "service_settings": { "api_key": "OpenAI-API-Key", "model_id": "text-embedding-3-small", "dimensions": 128 } }

Run `PUT _inference/completion/amazon_bedrock_completion` to create an inference endpoint to perform a completion task.

{ "service": "amazonbedrock", "service_settings": { "access_key": "AWS-access-key", "secret_key": "AWS-secret-key", "region": "us-east-1", "provider": "amazontitan", "model": "amazon.titan-text-premier-v1:0" } }
