For generating Ai Image Captioning on our ‘D’ sites, either we can use Open\_AI’s paid plans (you’ve to even keep some advance credit balance in your account to even begin), or Free & Open Llava Ai Api.

But to get some guidance on how to generate Llava Api keys, I’m Googling for past 3 hours, but even after watching many videos, I’ve not been able to get any direction in right direction.

Llava interface/website doesn’t seem to have any option to generate the needed Api keys straightway:

I think it’d be very precious for users if there was a just ‘a small link’ which could throw inquisitive users in the right direction. Something similar to this:

Or better, to this:
