Gain hands-on experience and explore what ValidMind has to offer with our training environment.

The training environment mimics a production environment and includes comprehensive resources such as notebooks with sample code you can run, sample models registered in the model inventory, and draft documentation and validation reports.

Most of our model documentation features are available for you to test in the training environment, including automated model testing & documentation, preparing model validation reports, and large language model (LLM) support.

These features provide a rich context for testing and evaluation, using models and datasets provided by ValidMind and hosted in our own environment.
