How to Configure AskTable's Model

Overview of this page After completing the basic deployment of AskTable, you can customize the AI model used through a simple configuration file. This guide will help you quickly complete the model configuration.

Creating the Configuration File​

In the same directory as the docker-compose.yaml file, create a file named asktable-models.yaml and enter the following content:

default: 
    name: AskTable Default Model (Recommended)
    fast: asktable-fast
    omni: asktable-omni
    agent: asktable-agent
    sql: asktable-sql

deepseek:
    name: DeepSeek (Recommended)
    fast: deepseek-v3.2
    omni: deepseek-v3.2
    agent: deepseek-v3.2
    sql: deepseek-v3.2

qwen3:
    name: Alibaba Qwen 3 (Recommended)
    fast: qwen3-30b
    omni: qwen3-235b
    agent: qwen3-235b
    sql: qwen3-coder-480b

Explanation:

  • fast: Fast question-answering model
  • omni: General analysis model
  • agent: Agent reasoning model
  • sql: SQL generation and analysis model

Mounting the Configuration File​

Under services: asktable in the docker-compose.yaml file, find the volumes configuration and add the following mount:

    volumes:
      - ./asktable-models.yaml:/etc/asktable-models.yaml

This will map asktable-models.yaml to /etc/asktable-models.yaml inside the container for use by AskTable.

Restarting the Service​

After making changes, go to the directory containing docker-compose.yaml and run the following commands to apply the configuration:

docker compose down
docker compose up -d

At this point, AskTable will automatically load the model configuration you have defined.

Verifying the Model Configuration​

After restarting, log in to the AskTable management console and go to the "Project Settings" page. Scroll down, and you should see the newly added model options. If it does not take effect, check the following points:

  • Confirm that the path and content of the asktable-models.yaml file are correct.
  • Confirm that the configuration file has been correctly mounted in docker-compose.yaml.
  • Execute docker logs asktable to check for any errors related to loading the model in the logs.

Notes​

  • Recommended Combination: It is recommended to use the AskTable Default Model or DeepSeek, which have been verified in more scenarios. If you need other models, please contact AskTable technical support.
  • Version Updates: When updating the AskTable version, make sure the asktable-models.yaml file is still mounted.

🎉 Congratulations! You have completed the configuration of AskTable's model. Now you can flexibly switch and use various models according to your needs.
