Quick Start

Run your first Playground experiment in 5 minutes

This quickstart helps you run a single prompt, compare models, and save a reusable chat session.

Step 1: Open Playground

1. Sign in to Bud Admin.
2. Click Playground from the left navigation.

Step 2: Start a Single-Model Chat

1. Choose a model/endpoint in the selector.
2. Enter a prompt (example: “Summarize this support ticket in 3 bullet points”).
3. Click Send.
4. Observe output quality and latency.

Step 3: Tune Generation Settings

Open Settings and modify:

• Temperature
• Response length/token limit
• Repeat penalty
• Stop strings

Run the same prompt again to compare behavior changes.

Step 4: Compare Models

1. Open a new chat window/pane.
2. Select a second model.
3. Reuse the same prompt in both panes.
4. Compare response quality, consistency, and speed.

Step 5: Save and Revisit

1. Keep the session in chat history for later review.
2. Use message-level controls (copy/edit/retry/feedback) to iterate.

Use the same prompt template across models to make comparisons fair and repeatable.
