AI Engine doesn’t come with pre-built AI models. You need to connect with an AI provider like OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, or another provider.
You don’t have to subscribe to non-API services (like ChatGPT Plus), but you have to set up your billing details on the chosen platform. They offer their API services on a pay-as-you-go basis.
For OpenAI, please head to the following pages and ensure everything is setup correctly :
- https://platform.openai.com/account/billing/limits
- https://platform.openai.com/account/billing/payment-methods
If you don’t see this message in the Playground but do inside of AI Engine this means you probably have a cache or optimization plugin that cached this response, please disable any plugins that migth do that.
Please note that OpenAI limits the usage of their services. API usage is subject to rate limits applied on tokens per minute (TPM), requests per minute or day (RPM/RPD), and other model-specific limits. Your organization’s rate limits are listed here:

Please make sure you are within your limit usage for what you are trying to use.
This is not related to AI Engine. The plugin can be used for FREE, but the services it depends on have a price. Not all of them, though there are free alternatives you can use that AI Engine supports, like OpenRouter’s free models or self-hosted Ollama.
