Quickstart

CentML’s serverless endpoints provide programmatic and browser-based access to popular models.

No need to worry about the underlying infrastructure, scaling deployments, or maintenance - just log in to start testing and evaluating models to determine how they fit your business needs.

When you’re ready to move to production, you can deploy dedicated LLM endpoints that fit your performance requirements and budget, with CentML’s LLM Serving.

​

1. Log into the CentML Platform

To access a CentML serverless endpoint, you need to log in to the CentML platform. To do so, navigate to https://app.centml.com in your browser and create a CentML user account or log in with your account’s credentials if you already have one.

If you need guidance on how to create an account, please visit the Creating an Accoount documentation and follow the guide to create an account and login.

Once logged in, you will see the CentML Platform console home page, as shown below.

​

2. Create an API key

When accessing a CentML Serverless endpoint, you must authenticate using a Serverless API key even if you are using the chat UI. By default, you should have a serverless API key already generated for you on account creation. If not, you may see errors similar to below.

To generate an API key, please follow the Generating Serverless API Tokens and Vault Objects documentation and move onto the next section. Worth noting that these API keys are long lived, so you may want to rotate them occasionally.

​

3. Begin Querying Your Desired Large Language Models

​

Accessing the Chat UI

To access the chat UI, select the Serverless option from the sidebar menu.

​

Configure, Prompt, and Submit

Once you are on the appropriate Your Serverless Endpoint page, follow the instructions below to submit a request to the model.

1. Configure the endpoint settings (right side of the screen) to fit your testing needs. The configuration menu is where you can select the model you’d like to leverage via the chat interface.
2. Enter a prompt into the textbox at the bottom of the screen.
3. Select the arrow (pointing up) to submit the prompt to the model.

Congratulations! You’ve begun your journey with CentML and submitted your first serverless request!
