AI Model Basic Settings Overview

This panel allows you to select the AI model powering your current FastGPT application or workflow node. All available models vary across core performance and operational dimensions, including response quality, per-call cost, maximum context window size, native tool calling support, and multimodal input handling capabilities.

Model Metadata Reference Table

The AI model selector displays four key metadata fields for each available model:

Metadata FieldDescription
Point costReference pricing for model API calls, with separate pricing for input prompt content and model output responses.
Max contextThe maximum volume of content the model can reference within a single request. Larger context windows support long-form document processing and extended conversational threads.
Tool callingIndicates whether the model supports integration with configured app tools to perform data queries, automated calculations, or external functional calls.
Multimodal capabilityConfirms the model’s support for image, audio, or video input. Enable matching multimodal recognition features in the AI Settings panel using the modal’s displayed capabilities as the official reference.

Selection and Configuration Workflow

Follow these structured steps to select and apply an AI model:

  1. Navigate to the AI Settings page for your target FastGPT application or workflow node.
  2. Open the dropdown menu labeled "AI Model" to view all supported model options.
  3. For each listed model, review the four core metadata fields to compare capabilities against your project requirements.
  4. Select a model aligned with your needs: for example, choose a model with tool calling support for automated workflow tasks, or a model with a larger max context window for processing long documents.
  5. Save your changes to finalize the AI model configuration for your app or node.

Safety guardrails

Use [REDACTED_CREDENTIAL] for credentials and private data. Confirm the documented environment and version before review.

Rollback guidance

Restore the prior technical-content authority snapshot. Restore saved configuration and data snapshots, then repeat the smallest verification scenario.
