+# Configure Text Generation Models
+
+KubeAI supports the following engines for text generation models (LLMs, VLMs, ..):
+
+- vLLM (Recommended for GPU)
+- Ollama (Recommended for CPU)
+- Need something else? Please file an issue on [GitHub](https://github.com/substratusai/kubeai).
+
+There are 2 ways to install a text generation model in KubeAI:
+- Use Helm with the `kubeai/models` chart.
+- Use `kubectl apply -f model.yaml` to install a Model CRD.
+
+KubeAI comes with pre-validated and optimized Model configurations for popular text generation models. These models are available in the `kubeai/models` Helm chart and
+are also published as raw manifests in the `manifests/model` directory.
+
+You can also easily define your own models using the Model CRD directly or by using the `kubeai/models` Helm chart.
+
+## Install a Text Generation Model using Helm
+
+KubeAI provides a `kubeai/models` chart that contains the pre-configured models.
+
+You can take a look at all the pre-configured models in the chart's default values file.
+
+```bash
+helm show values kubeai/models
+```
+
+### Install Text Generation Model using CPU
+
+Enable the `gemma2-2b-cpu` model using the Helm chart:
+
+```bash
+helm upgrade --install --reuse-values kubeai-models kubeai/models -f - <<EOF
+catalog:
+  gemma2-2b-cpu:
+    enabled: true
+    engine: OLlama
+    resourceProfile: cpu:2
+    minReplicas: 1 # by default this is 0
+EOF
+```
+
+### Install Text Generation Model using L4 GPU
+
+Enable the Llama 3.1 8B model using the Helm chart:
+
+```bash
+helm upgrade --install --reuse-values kubeai-models kubeai/models -f - <<EOF
+catalog:
+  llama-3.1-8b-instruct-fp8-l4:
+    enabled: true
+    engine: VLLM
+    resourceProfile: nvidia-gpu-l4:1
+    minReplicas: 1 # by default this is 0
+EOF
+```
+
+## Install a Text Generation Model using kubectl
+You can use the Model CRD directly to install a model using `kubectl apply -f model.yaml`.
+
+### Install Text Generation Model using CPU
+
+Apply the following Model CRD to install the Gemma 2 2B model using Ollama on CPU:
+```yaml
+apiVersion: kubeai.org/v1
+kind: Model
+metadata:
+  name: gemma2-2b-cpu
+spec:
+  features: [TextGeneration]
+  url: ollama://gemma2:2b
+  engine: OLlama
+  resourceProfile: cpu:2
+```
+
+### Install Text Generation Model using L4 GPU
+
+Apply the following Model CRD to install the Llama 3.1 8B model using vLLM on L4 GPU:
+```yaml
+apiVersion: kubeai.org/v1
+kind: Model
+metadata:
+  name: llama-3.1-8b-instruct-fp8-l4
+spec:
+  features: [TextGeneration]
+  url: hf://neuralmagic/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-FP8
+  engine: VLLM
+  args:
+    - --max-model-len=16384
+    - --max-num-batched-token=16384
+    - --gpu-memory-utilization=0.9
+    - --disable-log-requests
+  resourceProfile: nvidia-gpu-l4:1
+```
+
+## Interact with the Text Generation Model
+The KubeAI service exposes an OpenAI compatible API that you can use to query the available models and interact with them.
+
+The KubeAI service is available at `http://kubeai/openai/v1` within the Kubernetes cluster.
+
+You can also port-forward the KubeAI service to your local machine to interact with the models:
+
+```bash
+kubectl port-forward svc/kubeai 8000:80
+```
+
+You can now query the available models using curl:
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8000/openai/v1/models
+```
+
+### Using curl to interact with the model
+
+Run the following curl command to interact with the model named `llama-3.1-8b-instruct-fp8-l4`:
+```bash
+curl "http://localhost:8000/openai/v1/chat/completions" \
+    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+    -d '{
+        "model": "llama-3.1-8b-instruct-fp8-l4",
+        "messages": [
+            {
+                "role": "system",
+                "content": "You are a helpful assistant."
+            },
+            {
+                "role": "user",
+                "content": "Write a haiku about recursion in programming."
+            }
+        ]
+    }'
+```
+
+### Using the OpenAI Python SDK to interact with the model
+Once the pod is ready, you can use the OpenAI Python SDK to interact with the model:
+All OpenAI SDKs work with KubeAI since the KubeAI service is OpenAI API compatible.
+
+See the below example code to interact with the model using the OpenAI Python SDK:
+```python
+from openai import OpenAI
+# Assumes port-forward of kubeai service to localhost:8000.
+kubeai_endpoint = "http://localhost:8000/openai/v1"
+model_name = "llama-3.1-8b-instruct-fp8-l4"
+
+# If you are running in a Kubernetes cluster, you can use the kubeai service endpoint.
+if os.getenv("KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST"):
+    kubeai_endpoint = "http://kubeai/openai/v1"
+
+client = OpenAI(api_key="ignored", base_url=kubeai_endpoint)
+
+chat_completion = client.chat.completions.create(
+    messages=[
+        {
+            "role": "user",
+            "content": "Say this is a test",
+        }
+    ],
+    model=model_name,
+)
+```
