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:

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);
