# Create a service

Available in VPC.

To test retrieval models using the RAG system after completing the service subscription, you must index the data files that will be used for search. This section describes the service creation process, data configuration, and service deletion, and provides guidance on the RAG Development Guide.

The service creation process consists of the following steps:

- [Create a service](/docs/en/rag-services-create#%EC%84%9C%EB%B9%84%EC%8A%A4%EC%83%9D%EC%84%B1)

  - Default settings Applied when no custom prompt is provided.

#### Parameter settings

- Top P: Calculates the probability of each token by checking how often the language model attempts to generate it. If a token's probability does not meet the threshold P, the token is excluded from the result.
- Top K: Includes only the top K tokens ranked by relevance and excludes all remaining tokens.
- Maximum Tokens: Maximum number of tokens used for generation. A value between 300 and 500 is recommended.
- Temperature: Lower values generate more deterministic responses. Higher values increase output diversity but may reduce response quality.
