Hi Im trying to run the multimodal RAG code in Lecture6 on my own computer and It asks me for a “Prediction Guard API key”. I searched around for a free key to no avail. is it possible to obtain a demo key just for the course? Thanks!

I am stumped at this point as well. If anyone knows how to proceed please let us know
Same case here
You need to go to https://predictionguard.com/get-started and request for Enterprise level API key.
Check out above
So we can not run the demo without “Enterprise level API key”? I followed the link but not possible to generate API key. After filling out the form I got this email:

Any suggestion to replace predictionguard ?
Thanks

I had the same experience. There’s no way to get the API key.
Same case here. This is a blocker when trying to run the codes from local laptop.
There is something mentioned regarding the key in ReadMe file. I dont know what to make of it though.
Hi,
Did you find a solution?
I am facing the same problem, and the readme file does not contain the key.
Hi @Deepti_Prasad ,
Can you please help us with this issue of getting Prediction Guard API key?
The readme file does mention a weblink but it is not loading.
I am sorry didn’t come across this thread. Please provide me details which lesson are you working on from the course, so I can check what I can do best.

Hi @Deepti_Prasad
I am on Lecture 3(Title: Processing Videos for MultiModal RAG).
Context :
In order to use LlaVa model used in this tutorial , we require API key from Prediction Guard website. However, the key is not easily available in their website as it is an enterprise level product.
Can you please tell us the way to get a working API key so that we can use it and run the notebook of this tutorial in our local system?
You can refer the utils.py file of Lecture 3 to get the code which is retrieving API key from Prediciton Guard(ref image attached). Let me know if you need any additional info.
If you want to run the lab locally, you will have to provide your own API key.
please check the below link to get the api key
https://predictionguard.com/get-started
once you have raised the request let me know what response you are getting?
Regards

in this image, it clearly mentions the sandbox created has someone’s API key which was used to run the lessons codes.So as long as on course environment you won’t have issue but to run locally you will have to get your own api key
Hi, can anyone tell what does this prediction guard api key do? And would it be possible to tweak around to run the code without need of this api key?
u can can change model api to model local But I don’t recommend it, it consumes a lot of device resources. I have tried it. 
Okay, understood. Thanks for the tip.
Did someone do it? If someone did, would someone mind sharing your code? I need it. I’m having trouble with the query.
