📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated the NIM guide with an overview of NIMs as GPU services for structured-data inference, published Kumo models, shared endpoints and prediction fields, sessions, and API references.
    • Added information about the Python client and its data connectors.
    • The guide no longer includes deployment and readiness instructions, detailed request and response guidance, task-specific constraints, session lifecycle guidance, security and operations advice, hosted API Catalog distinctions, or the See Also section.

The NIM guide now covers the model list, shared endpoints, prediction fields, sessions, and Python client. It removes detailed deployment, request, session, security, operations, and integration guidance.

Changes: NIM documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
NIM overview and usage guidance
docs/source/nim.md
The guide describes NIMs as HTTP-accessible GPU services, lists the models and shared endpoints, summarizes prediction fields and sessions, and updates the Python-client section. It removes detailed deployment, request, session, security, operations, and integration guidance.

The shortened guide can lead users to submit invalid historical data, misuse sessions, or expose records through inadequately protected NIM endpoints.

Explanation

The title "Update NIM guide" matches the changeset, which rewrites docs/source/nim.md. It is short and specific, and it names the document changed. It does not state that the guide was reduced to essentials, but it is not vague, misleading, or off-topic.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description says the change "reduces it to essentials while referencing official documentations." This matches the raw summary, which shows the NIM guide shortened (+28/-118 lines) with deployment, readiness, and session details removed, and the remaining content pointing to official API references. The description is related to the changeset and is not off-topic.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

39-40: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Retain the time-availability rule for request data.

The SDM guide limits relational records to those available at prediction time, but it does not state that context labels must already be known. Without this NIM-specific rule, users can include future records or labels in time-dependent Kumo Relational requests.

Suggested fix
 | `output`  | Requested results, such as predictions, class probabilities, or quantiles. |
+For time-dependent Kumo Relational predictions, include only feature values and related records available at each query row's anchor time, and use only context labels already known at that time.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @docs/source/nim.md:
- Line 52: Add a concise security warning immediately after the
structured-data-models-client description in the NIM documentation, stating that
self-hosted NIM endpoints do not enforce application authentication and
operators must protect them with TLS and authentication at a gateway, ingress,
or service mesh.
- Line 9: Update the NIM introduction to limit the claim to published Kumo NIMs,
distinguish the SDM Python interface from the NIM HTTP API, and clarify that
local model customizations are not automatically included.
- Line 43: Update the NIM session description to state that sessions retain
context only for calls using the same model, task, and schema; direct follow-up
requests to the same serving process and explain that sessions must be recreated
after expiration, eviction, or restart.

🟡 Minor · Separate management routes from the structured-data API contract. · nim.md:25

docs/source/nim.md:25
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Separate management routes from the structured-data API contract.

The guide presents /v1/models as a guaranteed structured-data endpoint. The current Universal TFM reference defines four structured-data routes and treats /v1/models as a runtime route outside that contract. Mark management routes as deployment-specific to prevent clients from relying on an endpoint that may be absent. (docs.nvidia.com)

Review comment at @docs/source/nim.md at line 25:
Update the `/v1/models` entry in the API route table to identify it as a
deployment-specific management route, not a guaranteed structured-data API
endpoint. Keep the structured-data contract limited to its defined routes so
clients do not rely on `/v1/models` being available.
