Default Model Configuration Basics

The FastGPT self-hosted system includes pre-configured AI models from major AI providers out of the box. For users who are unfamiliar with the model configuration workflow, the simplest activation step is to use the built-in Enable button. A critical configuration note: the Model ID field directly corresponds to the Model selection option within the Model Channels configuration menu. This consistent mapping eliminates confusion when associating model identifiers with their respective provider and model variants during deployment.

Step-by-Step Model Activation Process

To activate a pre-included AI model:

  1. Navigate to the model configuration section of your self-hosted FastGPT deployment.
  2. Locate the target model from the default preloaded library of supported providers.
  3. Click the clearly labeled Enable button to activate the model for use across your FastGPT instance.

The standard Enable Models interface, which displays the activation control for default models, is shown below: !alt text
