What is superduper.io? 🔮

superduper.io is a Python framework for integrating AI models, APIs, and vector search engines directly with your existing databases, including hosting of your own models, streaming inference and scalable model training/fine-tuning.

Key Features:

• Integration of AI with your existing data infrastructure: Integrate any AI models and APIs with your databases in a single scalable deployment, without the need for additional pre-processing steps, ETL or boilerplate code.
• Inference via change-data-capture: Have your models compute outputs automatically and immediately as new data arrives, keeping your deployment always up-to-date.
• Scalable Model Training: Train AI models on large, diverse datasets simply by querying your training data. Ensured optimal performance via in-build computational optimizations.
• Model Chaining: Easily setup complex workflows by connecting models and APIs to work together in an interdependent and sequential manner.
• Simple Python Interface: Replace writing thousand of lines of glue code with simple Python commands, while being able to drill down to any layer of implementation detail, like the inner workings of your models or your training details.
• Python-First: Bring and leverage any function, program, script or algorithm from the Python ecosystem to enhance your workflows and applications.
• Difficult Data-Types: Work directly with images, video, audio in your database, and any type which can be encoded as bytes in Python.
• Feature Storing: Turn your database into a centralized repository for storing and managing inputs and outputs of AI models of arbitrary data-types, making them available in a structured format and known environment.
• Vector Search: No need to duplicate and migrate your data to additional specialized vector databases - turn your existing battle-tested database into a fully-fledged multi-modal vector-search database, including easy generation of vector embeddings and vector indexes of your data with preferred models and APIs.

Supported Datastores (more coming soon):

Transform your existing database into a Python-only AI development and deployment stack with one command:

db = superduper('mongodb|postgres|mysql|sqlite|duckdb|snowflake://<your-db-uri>')

Supported AI Frameworks and Models (more coming soon):

Integrate, train and manage any AI model (whether from open-source, commercial models or self-developed) directly with your datastore to automatically compute outputs with a single Python command:

Pre-Integrated AI APIs (more coming soon):

Integrate externally hosted models accessible via API to work together with your other models with a simple Python command:
