# %% [markdown]
# Minimal VLM pipeline example: convert a PDF using a vision-language model.
#
# What this example does
# - Runs the VLM-powered pipeline on a PDF (by URL) and prints Markdown output.
# - Shows two setups: default (Transformers/SmolDocling) and macOS MPS/MLX.
#
# Prerequisites
# - Install Docling with VLM extras and the appropriate backend (Transformers or MLX).
# - Ensure your environment can download model weights (e.g., from Hugging Face).
#
# How to run
# - From the repository root, run: `python docs/examples/minimal_vlm_pipeline.py`.
# - The script prints the converted Markdown to stdout.
#
# Notes
# - `source` may be a local path or a URL to a PDF.
# - The second section demonstrates macOS MPS acceleration via MLX (`vlm_model_specs.SMOLDOCLING_MLX`).
# - For more configurations and model comparisons, see `docs/examples/compare_vlm_models.py`.
