ai-prompt-template
The ai-prompt-template plugin supports pre-configuring prompt templates that only accept user inputs in designated template variables, in a "fill in the blank" fashion.
Examples
The following examples will be using OpenAI as the upstream service provider. Before proceeding, create an OpenAI account and an API key. You can optionally save the key to an environment variable as such:
export OPENAI_API_KEY=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 # replace with your API key
If you are working with other LLM providers, please refer to the provider's documentation to obtain an API key.
Configure a Template for Open Questions in Custom Complexity
The following example demonstrates how to use the ai-prompt-template plugin to configure a template which can be used to answer open questions and accepts user-specified response complexity.
Create a route to the chat completion endpoint with pre-configured prompt templates as such:
curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes" -X PUT \
-H "X-API-KEY: ${ADMIN_API_KEY}" \
-d '{
"id": "ai-prompt-template-route",
"uri": "/v1/chat/completions",
"method": "POST",
"plugins": {
"proxy-rewrite": {
"headers": {
"set": {
"Authorization": "Bearer '"$OPENAI_API_KEY"'"
}
}
},
"ai-prompt-template": {
"templates": [
{
"name": "QnA with complexity",
"template": {
"model": "gpt-4",
"messages": [
{
"role": "system",
"content": "Answer in {{complexity}}."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Explain {{prompt}}."
}
]
}
}
]
}
},
"upstream": {
"type": "roundrobin",
"nodes": {
"api.openai.com:443": 1
},
"scheme": "https"
}
}'
❶ Configure the OpenAI API key in the proxy-rewrite plugin. Alternatively, you can choose to attach the API key in every client request if you do not wish to configure the key in APISIX.
❷ Name the template. When requesting the route, the request should include the template name.
❸ Specify the model identifier.
❹ Configure a prompt that obtains the user-defined answer complexity from the request body key complexity.
❺ Configure a prompt that obtains the user-defined question from the request body key prompt.
The route should now be available to be re-used to respond to a variety of questions with different levels of user-specified desired complexities.
Send a POST request to the route with a sample question and desired answer complexity in the request body:
curl "http://127.0.0.1:9080/v1/chat/completions" -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Host: api.openai.com:443" \
-d '{
"template_name": "QnA with complexity",
"complexity": "brief",
"prompt": "quick sort"
}'
You should receive a response similar to the following:
{
"choices": [
{
"finish_reason": "stop",
"index": 0,
"message": {
"content": "Quick sort is a highly efficient sorting algorithm that uses a divide-and-conquer approach to arrange elements in a list or array in order.

Configure Multiple Templates
The following example demonstrates how you can configure multiple templates on the same route. When requesting the route, users will be able to pass custom inputs to different templates by specifying the template name.
The example continues with the last example. Update the plugin with another template:
curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes/ai-prompt-template-route" -X PATCH \
-H "X-API-KEY: ${ADMIN_API_KEY}" \
-d '{
"plugins": {
"ai-prompt-template": {
"templates": [
{
"name": "QnA with complexity",
"template": {
"model": "gpt-4",
"messages": [
{
"role": "system",
"content": "Answer in {{complexity}}."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Explain {{prompt}}."
}
]
}
},
{
"name": "echo",
"template": {
"model": "gpt-4",
"messages": [
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Echo {{prompt}}."
}
]
}
}
]
}
}
}'
You should now be able to use both templates through the same route.
Send a POST request to the route and use the first template:
curl "http://127.0.0.1:9080/v1/chat/completions" -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Host: api.openai.com:443" \
-d '{
"template_name": "QnA with complexity",
"complexity": "brief",
"prompt": "quick sort"
}'
You should receive a response similar to the following:
{
"choices": [
{
"finish_reason": "stop",
"index": 0,
"message": {
"content": "Quick sort is a highly efficient sorting algorithm that uses a divide-and-conquer approach to arrange elements in a list or array in order.

}
Send a POST request to the route and use the second template:
curl "http://127.0.0.1:9080/v1/chat/completions" -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Host: api.openai.com:443" \
-d '{
"template_name": "echo",
"prompt": "hello APISIX"
}'
You should receive a response similar to the following:
{
"choices": [
{
"finish_reason": "stop",
"index": 0,
"message": {
"content": "hello APISIX",
