What’s Included

The MinT Python SDK provides low-level operations including forward_backward, sample, optim_step, and save_state functionality.

Authentication

API access requires setting up credentials:

Obtain an API key from the Mind Lab team
Set the MINT_API_KEY environment variable

export MINT_API_KEY=sk-mint-your-key-here

Tinker Compatibility

MinT is fully API-compatible with Tinker. If you already have the tinker package installed, you can use it with MinT by setting environment variables:

export TINKER_BASE_URL=https://mint.macaron.im/
export TINKER_API_KEY=<your-mint-api-key>

All code using import tinker will work with MinT without modification.

Quickstart

For a hands-on tutorial, see the mint-quickstart repository which demonstrates SFT and RL training workflows.
