# Create AI model

You can create AI models in Atlan to govern and manage AI applications. AI models help you track model versions, configure training datasets, and maintain compliance with your organization's AI policies.

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

- **Admin permissions** in Atlan. Only admins can create AI apps and configure their settings. Alternatively, if a member has access to an AI policy persona with appropriate permissions, they can create and manage AI models and apps. Learn more about [admin roles](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/access-control/delegate-administration/llms.txt) and [AI policy](https://docs.atlan.com/product/capabilities/governance/access-control/ai-policy).

## Enable AI governance

Before you can create or manage AI models, you need to enable AI Governance in your Atlan workspace.

1. In your Atlan workspace, click **Settings** from the left menu.

 If you are using the **Old UI (Classic)**, click the **Admin** icon in the left sidebar.

2. Click **Labs**.

3. Locate the **AI Governance** toggle and enable it. If you don't see the AI Governance toggle, contact [Atlan Support](https://docs.atlan.com/support/submit-request).

Once enabled, the AI Governance features are now available in your workspace.

## Create AI model

Once AI Governance is enabled, you can create your AI model in Atlan. The creation process registers both the model and its first version together.

1. From the left sidebar, click on **all assets** and then click on AI Governance.
 * If you are using the **Old UI (Classic)**, open **AI** from the left sidebar.

2. From the top right corner, click **New** and select **AI model**.

3. Enter a **Name** for your model (for example, `Customer Churn Predictor`) and a **Description** of what it does.

4. Select one or more **Owners** to manage the model.

5. Set the **Model status** (for example, *Active*).

6. In the **Version details** section, enter the first version's information:
 - **Version name**: A name for this version.
 - **Stage**: Select *None*, *Staging*, *Production*, or *Archived*.
 - **Description**: What this version does.
 - **Metrics**: Add key-value pairs like `accuracy: 0.95` or `f1_score: 0.88`.

7. In the **Select datasets** section, choose the data assets this version uses. Mark them as *inputs*, *outputs*, or other types to track lineage.

8. In the **Additional details** section, add custom metadata if configured.

9. Review your model and version configuration.

10. Click **Publish** to create the model and version. If a [New Entity Creation workflow](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/stewardship/automate-data-governance/llms.txt) is active, the model publishes after workflow approval.

Once published, your AI model appears under the **AI** section of your workspace. You can view versions, manage their lifecycle, and connect them to AI apps as part of your AI governance framework.

## Create additional model versions

After an AI model is published, you can add more versions to track iterations over time.

1. Open the AI model's profile page.

2. Navigate to the **Versions** tab.

3. Click **Create version** to open the version creation modal.

4. Fill in the version details:
 - **Version name** (required)
 - **Stage**: Select the deployment lifecycle stage (*None*, *Staging*, *Production*, or *Archived*).
 - **Description**: Describe this version's changes or purpose.
 - **Metrics**: Add key-value pairs for performance and evaluation metrics.

5. Optionally, select **datasets** to link to this version and add **custom metadata**.

6. Review and **Publish** the version.
