It provides a client library to send images, documents, and text prompts to remote models and receive structured responses. The SDK wraps REST APIs for image generation (with domain-specific processing like invoice extraction), document analysis, and chat completions that are compatible with the OpenAI API format.\n\nThe package is designed for developers who want to integrate multimodal AI capabilities into Python applications without running models locally. It includes optional features for video processing, document handling, and OpenAI SDK compatibility, plus a CLI tool for interactive chat with skills (domain-specific expertise bundles). The SDK handles authentication, request formatting, and response parsing, reducing boilerplate when calling the platform's endpoints.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you have a VLM Run API account and need a Python client for their platform. The SDK is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive license. The 15 runtime dependencies are substantial but manageable; consider using optional extras if you don't need all features. Not suitable if you need local model inference or don't have API credentials."},"id":"vlmrun","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/vlmrun","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/vlmrun.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/vlmrun/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"vlmrun","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Official Python SDK for VLM Run"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":168232,"position":10451,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.7.3"}
