+### Docling VLM pipeline with remote model {#docling-remote-vlm}
+
+The **Docling Remote VLM** component uses Docling to process input documents through a Vision Language Model (VLM) pipeline that runs a remote model.
+It supports both **IBM Cloud Watsonx** and **OpenAI-compatible** providers.
+
+This component enables document conversion, such as PDF to text or Markdown, using multimodal models hosted on remote APIs.
+
+It outputs `files`, which are processed files containing `DoclingDocument` data.
+
+For more information, see the [Docling VLM pipeline with API model example](https://docling-project.github.io/docling/examples/vlm_pipeline_api_model/).
