Note

If Playground is not available in your workspace, reach out to your Databricks account team for more information.

To use the AI Playground:

  1. Select Playground from the left navigation pane under Machine Learning.

  2. Select the model you want to interact with using the dropdown list on the top left.

  3. You can do either of the following:

    1. Type in your question or prompt.

    2. Select a sample AI instruction from those listed in the window.

  4. You can select the + to add an endpoint. Doing so allows you to compare multiple model responses side-by-side.
