ImportantBreaking change

Future releases will require you to specify the document parameter when initializing the ValidMind Library. Update your existing code snippets now to prevent a breaking change in the future.

Install and initialize the ValidMind Library

On the inventory models getting started page, you now pick which document to connect to your model. This improves the onboarding workflow by establishing the document association earlier in the process.

import validmind as vm

vm.init(
  api_host = "...",
  api_key = "...",
  api_secret = "...",
  model = "...",
  document = "..."
)
