Qianfan

Qianfan is a tool in Nappai that helps you create text using advanced AI. It connects to Baidu’s Qianfan AI models, letting you generate different kinds of text for your projects. You can customize how the AI writes by adjusting settings to make the text more creative or more precise.

Relationship with Baidu Qianfan

This component uses Baidu’s Qianfan API to access its powerful AI language models. This API allows Qianfan to generate text based on your instructions. You don’t need to know anything about APIs to use this component; Nappai handles all the technical details.

Inputs

Model Name: Choose which AI language model to use from a list of options. The default is “ERNIE-Bot-turbo,” which is a good all-around choice. Different models have different strengths, so experiment to find the best one for your needs.
Top p (Only for ERNIE-Bot and ERNIE-Bot-turbo): This setting controls how diverse the AI’s writing is. A higher value (closer to 1) means more varied and creative text, while a lower value (closer to 0) means more focused and predictable text.
Temperature: This setting controls how random the AI’s writing is. A higher value (closer to 1) means more unpredictable and creative text, while a lower value (closer to 0) means more straightforward and predictable text.
Penalty Score (Only for ERNIE-Bot and ERNIE-Bot-turbo): This setting reduces the chances of the AI repeating the same words or phrases. A higher value (closer to 1) means less repetition.
Endpoint: Only needed if you’re using a custom AI model (not one from the list). This is the web address where your custom model is located.
Credential: This is your access key to use the Baidu Qianfan API. Nappai will guide you on how to obtain and securely store this information.

Outputs

The Qianfan component doesn’t have direct outputs displayed in the dashboard. Instead, it generates text that’s used by other components in your Nappai workflow. For example, the generated text might be used as input for a summarizer or a translator.

Usage Example

Let’s say you want to generate a product description for a new widget. You would:

Select “ERNIE-Bot-turbo” as the Model Name.
Set Temperature to 0.7 for a more focused description.
Provide a prompt in another Nappai component (like a “Text Input”) that describes your widget.
Connect the “Text Input” component to the Qianfan component.
Connect the Qianfan component to another component (like a “Text Output”) to see the generated description.

Templates

[List of templates where the component is used - This section needs to be populated with actual template names if available.]

Explain SQL results: Use this to understand data from your database. The output from Qianfan could be used as input here to get an explanation of complex data.
Summarizer: Use this to shorten long pieces of text. The output from Qianfan could be summarized further.
Text Input/Text Output: These are basic components for providing input and viewing output text. They are commonly used with Qianfan. [Add links to other relevant components as needed from the provided list]

Tips and Best Practices

Experiment with different Model Names and settings (Temperature, Top p, Penalty Score) to find the best results for your needs.
Start with the default settings and adjust them gradually.
Clearly define your prompt to get the most relevant and accurate text generation.
Keep your prompts concise and focused.

Security Considerations

Protect your Baidu Qianfan API Credential. Do not share it with others.
Regularly review and update your credentials as needed. Nappai’s security features will help you manage this securely.
