Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A network entity may obtain a first message indicating one or more artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) capabilities of a user equipment (UE) and may further obtain, from an AI/ML service, a second message indicating one or more AI/ML service capabilities of the AI/ML service. The network entity may output a control message indicating one or more cross-node AI/ML configurations based on the one or more AI/ML capabilities of the UE and the one or more AI/ML service capabilities of the AI/ML service. The one or more cross-node AI/ML configurations may configure AI/ML functions of the UE for use with the AI/ML service. In some examples, life cycle management (LCM) procedures may be triggered by a UE, and the UE may transmit signaling associated with the LCM procedures (e.g., a request for LCM signaling or an indication of LCM).
