+### AI explanations
+
+AI explanations are **on by default**: each anomalous row gets a plain-language, LLM-generated explanation in `_dq_info[0].anomaly.ai_explanation` answering *why was this flagged, what's the impact, and what should I do* — without anyone reading raw SHAP percentages. Set `enable_ai_explanation=False` to turn it off (or `enable_contributions=False`, which disables explanations too, since they use the SHAP contributions as input). The explanation is AI-generated from the anomaly signal (feature names + SHAP + severity); it is **not** grounded in your catalog's table/column descriptions, so treat the business-impact and action as a starting point, not authoritative.
+
+The call runs inside Spark via the SQL `ai_query` function against a Databricks Model Serving endpoint, so it needs no extra setup and scales with the cluster. This requires **Databricks serverless compute or Databricks Runtime 15.4 LTS or above** (where `ai_query` is available); on older runtimes explanations are skipped with a warning and scoring still completes. Similar anomalous rows are grouped together and the model is called **once per group** rather than once per row, so cost stays predictable on large datasets.
+
+Rows are grouped by their top two contributing features, so occasionally two different kinds of anomaly that share the same top two features land in the same group and get one shared explanation. That's intentional — it keeps the number of AI calls (and the cost) low, at the price of a slightly more general explanation for those rows.
+
+```python
+from databricks.labs.dqx.rule import DQDatasetRule
+from databricks.labs.dqx.anomaly.check_funcs import has_no_row_anomalies
+
+# Contributions + AI explanations are on by default — this is all you need:

+ },
+ )
+]
+```
+
+
+* Explanations are **on by default** and call a Model Serving endpoint, so they add per-run LLM cost. `max_groups` (default 500) caps how many groups the model is called for per run. For segmented models the cap is shared across segments (at least one call each), so if you set `max_groups` lower than the number of segments you still get one call per segment — a warning is logged when that happens. Set `enable_ai_explanation=False` to turn explanations off.
+* No serving endpoint? If the configured endpoint isn't reachable (e.g. Foundation Model APIs aren't enabled in the workspace), explanations are skipped with a warning and scoring still completes — nothing breaks.
+* `redact_columns` keeps the listed feature and segment names out of the prompt. Segment **values** for non-redacted keys are sent verbatim — avoid segmenting on sensitive columns, or list them in `redact_columns`.

+"""LLM-based group explanation for row anomaly detection.
+
+The algorithm is group-based: anomalous rows are grouped by a deterministic
+(segment, pattern) key — pattern being the sorted top-2 contributing features —
+and the LLM is invoked once per group. Every row in a
+group shares the same narrative/business_impact/action; group_size and
+group_avg_severity signal that the explanation describes a pattern, not a row.
+
+The LLM call runs entirely inside Spark via the SQL ``ai_query`` function against a
+Databricks Model Serving endpoint — no driver collect of LLM output, scales with the
+cluster, and needs no extra Python dependency.

enable_confidence_std: Include ensemble confidence scores in _dq_info and top-level (default False).
Automatically available when training with ensemble_size > 1 (default is 3).
+ enable_ai_explanation: Add a human-readable LLM explanation for each anomalous row
+ (default True). Uses enable_contributions as input; if contributions are off, explanations
+ are disabled (with a warning) rather than erroring. The LLM call runs in Spark via
+ ``ai_query`` against a Databricks Model Serving endpoint — no extra dependencies. If that
+ endpoint is unreachable (e.g. no Foundation Model APIs in the workspace), explanations are
+ skipped with a warning and scoring still completes. Output is in
+ _dq_info[0].anomaly.ai_explanation, and is AI-generated from the anomaly signal (feature
+ names + SHAP + severity), not grounded in catalog metadata.
+ ai_explanation_llm_model_config: LLM model configuration for AI explanations (named
+ distinctly from the check's *model_name* to avoid confusion). Defaults to
+ LLMModelConfig() (model_name='databricks/databricks-claude-sonnet-4-5'). Its *model_name*
+ must resolve to a Databricks Model Serving endpoint (with or without the ``databricks/``
+ prefix); the ``ai_query`` call uses the bare endpoint name.
+
+ When wrapping this check in DQDatasetRule / DQRowRule, applying it via
+ apply_checks / apply_checks_by_metadata, or declaring it in YAML: **pass a dict**
+ with keys ``{"model_name", "api_key", "api_base"}``. The rule pipeline
+ normalizes check arguments and does not accept custom dataclass instances, so an
+ LLMModelConfig object there raises ``TypeError: Unsupported type for normalization``.
+ The dict is coerced back to LLMModelConfig inside the check.
+
+ When calling this function directly (not via a rule), either a dict or an
+ LLMModelConfig instance is accepted. The simplest dict form sets only *model_name*
+ to a Databricks Model Serving endpoint. See the AI Explanations section of the Row
+ Anomaly Detection reference docs for a full example.
+ redact_columns: Column names to exclude from the LLM prompt. Filters SHAP contribution
+ map keys, the top-2 pattern key, and — when the scored model is segmented — any
+ matching segment key (emitted as ``key=`` so sensitive segmentation values
+ never reach the prompt).
+ max_groups: Maximum number of distinct (segment, pattern) groups the LLM is called for
+ per scoring run (default 500). Groups beyond this cap — ranked by
+ group_size * group_avg_severity — get a null ai_explanation; a warning is logged.
+ Note: for segmented models the cap is split across eligible segments with a floor of
+ one call each, so when ``max_groups`` is smaller than the number of eligible segments
+ the effective call count is the segment count (a warning is logged). Size
+ ``max_groups`` at or above your expected eligible-segment count to keep cost bounded.

worker UDF dependencies are not available. Default False for production.

+You are a data quality analyst. Given aggregate metadata for a GROUP of anomalous rows sharing the same root-cause pattern, explain in plain business language why this group was flagged. Your explanation will be shown for every row in the group — describe the pattern, not a specific row.
+Be direct and concrete. Avoid hedging phrases like 'The data shows', 'It appears that', or 'might indicate'. Do not restate the input field names back to the user, and do not invent feature names, values, or segments that are not present in the input.
+
+Inputs:
+- feature_contributions: Mean SHAP contributions across the group, e.g. 'amount (82%), quantity (11%), discount (5%)'. These are aggregated relative importances — not raw data values.
+- group_size: Number of rows in this group, e.g. '312 rows'.
+- severity_range: Severity percentile range across the group, e.g. 'mean 97.4, min 95.1, max 99.8'.
+- confidence: Model confidence label across the group. 'high' / 'mixed' / 'low' for ensemble, 'n/a' for single-model scoring.
+- segment: Data segment this group belongs to, e.g. 'region=US, product=electronics'. Empty string if no segmentation was used.
+- threshold: The severity percentile threshold configured by the user (0–100).
+- drift_summary: Baseline drift signal from the scoring run, e.g. 'drift detected: amount=4.12; quantity=3.55' or 'none'. If drift is present, explicitly frame the narrative vs baseline.
+
+Respond with ONLY a JSON object. Field rules:
+- narrative: Max 2 sentences, max 40 words total. Describe the GROUP pattern, not a single row. Reference the top contributing features and the group size. If drift_summary != 'none', frame at least one feature vs baseline.
+- business_impact: One sentence, max 25 words. Likely downstream business impact if this group of rows is processed unchanged. Concrete, tied to the contributing features.
+- action: One sentence, max 20 words. What a data analyst should investigate for this group.
+
+Example (no drift):
+feature_contributions: amount (61%), quantity (22%)
+group_size: 312 rows
+severity_range: mean 97.4, min 95.1, max 99.8
+confidence: high
+segment: region=US
+threshold: 95.0
+drift_summary: none
+Response: {"narrative":"312 rows are driven mainly by amount (61%) with quantity secondary (22%); values sit far above the US-segment norm.","business_impact":"Inflated amount fields overstate revenue if these rows are processed unchanged.","action":"Reconcile amount against source orders for this US group."}
+
+Example (with drift):
+feature_contributions: latency_ms (74%), retries (12%)
+group_size: 88 rows
+severity_range: mean 98.9, min 97.0, max 99.9
+confidence: mixed
+segment:
+threshold: 95.0
+drift_summary: drift detected: latency_ms=4.12
+Response: {"narrative":"88 rows are dominated by latency_ms (74%), which has also drifted from baseline; retries contribute modestly (12%).","business_impact":"Elevated latency risks SLA breaches for downstream consumers.","action":"Investigate latency_ms regressions against the training baseline."}
