Maximum number of text machine learning models

[Catalina Ureta]

Dear all,
in the Watson API key configuration, this warning appears: "Number of text machine learning models your students can have: 5." Does this mean that each student can have 5 associated text models, or is this maximum number per group?
Thank you in advance for your help.

It's the maximum number per group.

The limit is enforced and applied by IBM Watson, which has no knowledge of Machine Learning for Kids. The limit they apply is that a free API key supports five machine learning models at a time. 

Kind regards

Hi Dan,

What happens when I have more than one API key associated with the administrator account?

How does it work if I have students in multiple groups under one administrator account?

What's the best practice if I have approximately 60 students?

Thank you in advance for your help.

If you mean more than one API key for the same free tier instance of IBM Watson Assistant, then I'm afraid that doesn't trick IBM Watson's systems into letting you create more than five models. They still apply the same limit irregardless of how many API keys you create. 

If you mean you plan to create a second free tier instance of Watson Assistant, and create a API key for that second instance, then yes - that would support creating up to ten models.
