Switching the AI model¶

Alan AI provides generative AI services through the following AI models:

To choose the AI model to use:

In the scripts/_<project>_vars.sh file, set the model provider to openai or google:
scripts/_<project>_vars.sh¶
```
# Generative models provider.
# Supported values: openai, google.
export MODELS_PROVIDER=google
```

[For Google Gemini] In the scripts/_<project>_vars.sh file, set the Google project ID and the project region:

scripts/_<project>_vars.sh¶

# Google Cloud Project ID and the name of the config subfolder under cfg/.
# Replace with your actual project ID.
export PROJECT_ID=YOUR-PROJECT-ID

# Region of the Google Cloud project.
# Set this to your project's region.
export REGION=us-central1

By default, Alan AI offers to use its Google Gemini and OpenAI GPT projects. To switch to your own project, in the cfg/$PROJECT_ID folder, update the service account data and keys in the following files:
- For Google Gemini:
  - cfg/$PROJECT_ID/alan_dialog_sa_key.json
  - cfg/$PROJECT_ID/alan_tutor_sa_key.json
  - cfg/$PROJECT_ID/alan_tutor_sa_key.json
- For OpenAI GPT-4: cfg/$PROJECT_ID/openai_key.txt
Run the following command to update the local Alan AI deployment:
