# set_llm_context

> Set or clear additional context information on a language model instance.

Set or clear additional context information on a language model instance.

The context is attached to all spans created for this model and is stored
as `gen_ai.llm.context`. Supports both `BaseLanguageModel` instances
and `RunnableBinding` objects.

Passing `None` removes the context so that subsequent spans no longer
carry it. This is useful in multi-step agent workflows where context set
after a RAG step should not leak into later non-RAG LLM calls.

## Parameters

<ParamField path="llm" type="BaseLanguageModel | RunnableBinding" required={true}>
  The language model instance or binding.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="context" type="str | None" required={false} default="None">
  The context string to attach, or `None` to clear.
</ParamField>

## Raises

**TypeError** – If a `RunnableBinding` is provided but its bound
object is not a `BaseLanguageModel`.

## Returns

<ResponseField>
  None Example: default from langchain\_openai import ChatOpenAI from fiddler\_langgraph import set\_llm\_context llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o") set\_llm\_context(llm, "User prefers concise responses in Spanish") # Clear context before non-RAG steps set\_llm\_context(llm, None)
</ResponseField>
