Community quickstart

This guide is for the online OpenCSG community. For an enterprise deployment, use CSGHub quickstart. Confirm your identity, permissions and service price before starting.

Make your first model call​

  1. Sign in and select a model with public inference enabled.
  2. Submit a short request in its playground. Check the trial conditions and price on the service page.
  3. Create an API Key under the intended personal or organization account and save it.
  4. Copy the model identifier, API address and example from the service page. Configure the API Key, not the Git Access Token.
  5. Verify a model reply and check the corresponding usage and bill. Remove a test Key when it is no longer needed.

Upload and retrieve a dataset​

  1. Create a dataset under the intended owner and visibility.
  2. Prepare a small test file and follow dataset upload. CLI/SDK operations use an Access Token and dataset repository type.
  3. Check the files and commit, then download to a separate directory.
  4. Verify that the content matches. Test another member's access before using it for team collaboration.

Create and stop an instance​

  1. Create an endpoint for a supported model. Check resources, framework, access level and billing owner.
  2. Wait until ready and test its playground or API.
  3. Save required outputs, stop or pause the instance and confirm the resulting status in the list. Closing a browser is not a stop operation.
