As of Cognigy.AI 2026.6.0, the support for the Completions API for custom LLMs is deprecated. The full removal is planned for Cognigy.AI 2026.24.0.
To start using an Aleph Alpha model with Cognigy.AI features, follow these steps:
Add Models
You can add a model using one of the following interfaces:
Add Models via GUI
You can add a model provided by Aleph Alpha to Cognigy.AI in Build > LLM. To add the model, you will need the following parameters:
- Standard Model
- Custom Model
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Token | Enter the key that you created in your Aleph Alpha account. |
| Custom URL | This parameter is optional. To control the connection between your clusters and the Aleph Alpha provider, you can route connections through dedicated proxy servers, creating an additional layer of security. To do this, specify the base URL. For example, https://api.aleph-alpha.com. |
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Model Type | Select the Completion type. |
| Model Name | Enter the name of the model that you want to use as a custom model. To find model names, refer to the Aleph Alpha documentation. |
| Token | Enter the key that you created in your Aleph Alpha account. |
| Custom URL | This parameter is optional. To control the connection between your clusters and the Aleph Alpha provider, you can route connections through dedicated proxy servers, creating an additional layer of security. To do this, specify the base URL. For example, https://api.aleph-alpha.com. |
Apply changes. Check if the connection was set up by clicking Test. You can switch generative models at any time using the Model list without setting up a new connection. For embedding models, the selection is locked because different embedding models can generate incompatible embeddings for Knowledge AI. To switch an embedding, delete the connection and create a new one.
Add Models via the API
You can add either a standard or custom model using the Cognigy.AI API POST /v2.0/largelanguagemodels request. Then, test your connection for the created model via the Cognigy.AI API POST /v2.0/largelanguagemodels//test.
Apply the Model
To apply a model, follow these steps:
- In the left-side menu of the Project, go to Manage > Settings.
- Go to the section based on your use case for using a model:
- Generative AI Settings. In the Generative AI Settings section, activate Enable Generative AI Features. This setting is toggled on by default if you have previously set up the Generative AI credentials.
- Knowledge AI Settings. Use this section if you need to add a model for Knowledge AI. Select a model for the Knowledge Search and Answer Extraction features. Refer to the list of standard models and find the models that support these features.
- Navigate to the desired feature and select a model from the list. If there are no models available for the selected feature, the system will automatically select None. Save changes.
