You can create a replica by uploading a training video or a training image asset. Use the Create Replica API with either train_video_url or train_image_url (mutually exclusive). You may also use the Developer Portal, which walks through the same choices.
In the Developer Portal, you can record your training video directly within the platform using a guided workflow, or upload an image with real-time validation to ensure it meets all requirements before training.
