### API

```python
class nemo_automodel.recipes.multimodal.pretrain.PretrainRecipeForMultimodal()
```

**Bases:** [FinetuneRecipeForMultimodal](/nemo-automodel/nemo_automodel/recipes/multimodal/finetune#nemo_automodel-recipes-multimodal-finetune-FinetuneRecipeForMultimodal)

Pretraining entrypoint for multimodal BAGEL training.

The shared implementation lives in `FinetuneRecipeForMultimodal` because
the BAGEL training step is the same; pretraining behavior is selected by
the YAML model initializer and data mixture.
