Quick Start With Playground
Start quickly with Clarifai Playground in a few simple steps
Clarifai's AI Playground is an intuitive interface that allows you to experience powerful AI models in action without requiring additional setup.
This interactive battleground brings together a curated selection of cutting-edge models, spanning vision, language, and multimodal tasks.
You can quickly test performance, experiment with real inputs, and explore Clarifai’s full capabilities — directly from your browser.
Step 1: Sign Up or Log In
Start by logging into your existing Clarifai account, or sign up for a new one to unlock access to the platform’s powerful AI capabilities. New users receive free operations to help kickstart their exploration.
Step 2: Get a Model
Clarifai’s Community platform offers a wide range of the latest models that you can test and integrate into your AI projects.
You can easily find a model to use by heading to the Community homepage and exploring the Trending Models section, which showcases popular and ready-to-use options.
After finding a model, click the TEST IN PLAYGROUND button in the bottom right corner of its information card.
For this example, we'll use the Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct model.
Alternatively, you can select the Playground option in the top navigation bar.
Step 3: Run Your Inference
You'll be taken to the AI Playground interface.
Alternatively, in the upper-left section of the Playground, you can choose the model you'd like to use for inference.
In the message box at the bottom of the Playground, enter your desired prompt to generate text with the selected model.
Note: If your chosen model supports image or video inputs as prompts, you can also upload them directly into the interface.
Then, click the arrow icon in the message box to submit your request.
The results will be streamed directly on the interface, allowing you to see the output in real time.
Note: Since we support streaming capabilities, you can interact with language models as they generate responses token by token — just like in a live chat experience.
For this example, we're using the default settings for deployment (Clarifai Shared), inference parameters, and others. You can customize these settings as needed for more advanced use cases.
You can toggle the button in the upper-left section of the Playground to display ready-to-use API code snippets in various programming languages. Simply copy and use them in your project.
