Only Admin users have permission to allow models.

The AI Catalog provides access to thousands of models. This guide outlines the straightforward process for exploring and evaluating a diverse range of AI models, helping you identify and allow the most suitable options for your projects.

  1. Select a model:

    1. From the JFrog platform menu, select AI/ML > Discovery. The Models 'Discovery' page opens. (If this is your first model, the Registry page is empty.)

    2. Browse through the catalog to find the model you want. You can search and filter to locate a specific model or model type.

    3. Click the model you wish to allow. The model details are displayed. To enable your developers to use this model, assign it to a project, connect it (for external models), and allow it.

    4. Browse through the catalog to find the model you want. You can [search and filter](/docs/discover-and-allow-models#searching-and-filtering-ai-models) to locate a specific model or model type.

    5. Click the model you wish to allow. The model details are displayed. To enable your developers to use this model, assign it to a project, connect it (for external models), and allow it.

  2. Select the project and configure model allowance:

    1. In the model's detail page, click as follows:

      • For External models: Click Connect & allow

      • For Open-source models: Click Allow

    3. Based on your model type, perform the required configuration and complete the approval (allowance):

      • For Open-source Models only: Click Allow. The Allowed models tab is displayed.

      • For External API Models only: First create a new connection¹² for the project, and then click Allow.

  3. To Use the Model: See instructions how to Use Models in Your Code.

Note

You can create a connection without currently allowing the project if you want.

¹ Connections are per provider per project. For more info, see Connect AI Providers.

² When allowing a model for which a connection is already set up between the project and the model provider, you do not need to define a new connection.
