Model components in LLM Controls

Model components generate text using large language models. Refer to your specific component’s documentation for more information on parameters.

​

Use a model component in a flow

Model components receive inputs and prompts for generating text, and the generated text is sent to an output component. The model output can also be sent to the Language Model port and on to a Parse Data component, where the output can be parsed into structured Data objects. This example has the OpenAI model in a chatbot flow. For more information .

​

LLMC Executor

The LLMC Executor is a user-friendly interface designed to streamline interactions with AI language models, such as those from OpenAI. It plays a central role in allowing users to experiment with different prompts and models to generate high-quality AI responses. By integrating with API keys, the executor enables seamless communication with external AI services. Users can effortlessly select prompts , either manually or through integration with a Prompt Optimizer Flow and choose from available AI models using intuitive dropdown menus. Once configured, the tool provides a clean and efficient workflow where users input text, trigger the request with a single click, and receive intelligent outputs in real-time. This makes LLMC Executor an essential component for testing, optimizing, and comparing AI-generated responses across various configurations.
