The container that holds the registered AI client.

Remarks

The default container for AI services (AIExtensionsContainerDesktop.Default) can store only one registered AI client. An exception is raised if you attempt to register a second AI client.

To switch between AI chat clients, call the UnregisterChatClient method to unregister the currently registered AI chat client and then register another AI chat client:

csharp

using DevExpress.AIIntegration;
using Microsoft.Extensions.AI;

//...
IChatClient asChatClientOpenAI;
IChatClient asChatClientAzureOpenAI;

//...
//Initialize asChatClientOpenAI and asChatClientAzureOpenAI
InitializeChatClientOpenAI();
InitializeChatClientAzureOpenAI();

// Register an OpenAI client.
RegisterChatClient(asChatClientOpenAI);

// Unregister the previously registered AI client.
AIExtensionsContainerDesktop.Default.UnregisterChatClient();
// Register an Azure OpenAI client.
RegisterChatClient(asChatClientAzureOpenAI);
