      "provider": "askSage",
      "model": "gpt4-gov",
      "apiBase": "https://api.asksage.ai/server/",
      "apiKey": "<YOUR_ASK_SAGE_API_KEY>"
    }
  ]

```yaml title="config.yaml" name: My Config version: 0.0.1 schema: v1

models: - name: GPT-4 gov provider: askSage model: gpt4-gov apiBase: https://api.asksage.ai/server/ apiKey: <YOUR_ASK_SAGE_API_KEY> requestOptions: caBundlePath: /path/to/dod/certificates

</Tab>
<Tab title="JSON">
```json title="config.json"
{
  "models": [
    {
      "title": "GPT-4 gov",
      "provider": "askSage",
      "model": "gpt4-gov",
      "apiBase": "https://api.asksage.ai/server/",

      "requestOptions": {
        "caBundlePath": "/path/to/dod/certificates"
