Note: Deleting a provider will remove access to its models. Ensure you're not using any of the provider's models in active projects before deletion.

Provider-Specific Setup

Each provider may have unique setup requirements. Here are some general guidelines:

• API Keys: Most providers require an API key. Ensure you have an account with the provider and have generated an API key before adding the provider to Waterflai.

• Endpoints: Some providers, especially self-hosted ones, may require you to specify an endpoint URL.

• Model Selection: Certain providers allow you to select which models you want to use. Make sure you have the necessary permissions for the models you select.

Best Practices

1. Security: Store API keys securely and never share them.

2. Testing: After adding a provider, test the connection by importing and using a model.

3. Monitoring: Regularly check your provider usage to manage costs and performance.

4. Updates: Keep an eye out for provider updates that may require changes to your setup.

By following these instructions, you'll be able to efficiently set up and manage your AI providers in Waterflai, enabling you to leverage a wide range of AI models for your applications.
