SuperDuperDB 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. Build, deploy and manage any AI application without the need for complex pipelines, infrastructure as well as specialized vector databases, and moving our data there, by integrating AI at your data's source: - Generative AI, LLMs, RAG, vector search - Standard machine learning use-cases (classification, segmentation, regression, forecasting recommendation etc.) - Custom AI use-cases involving specialized models - Even the most complex applications/workflows in which different models work together SuperDuperDB is **not** a database. Think `db = superduper(db)`: SuperDuperDB transforms your databases into an intelligent platform that allows you to leverage the full AI and Python ecosystem. A single development and deployment environment for all your AI applications in one place, fully scalable and easy to manage.

📣 We are thrilled to announce the release of v0.2, packed with a variety of exciting new features and integrations. Updated docs and use-cases are also available now. Have a glimpse here in the changelog! Additionally, we are launching our enterprise solution. Sign-up for the preview waiting list here.


What is SuperDuperDB? 🔮

SuperDuperDB 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.
How to get Started

What's new in v0.2?

We've been working hard improving the quality of the project and bringing new features at the intersection of AI and databasing.

New features

  • Full support for ray as a "compute" backend (inference and training)
  • The SuperDuper "protocol" for serializing compound AI-components
  • Support for self-hosting LLMs with integrations of v-LLM, Llama.cpp and transformers fine-tuning, in particular leveraging ray features.
  • Restful server implementation

New integrations

  • ray
  • jina
  • transformers (fine-tuning)
  • llama_cpp
  • vllm

Developer contract

  • Easier path to integrating AI models and components. Developers only need to implement these methods:
Optional Method Description
False Model.predict Predict on one datapoint
False Model.predict_batches Predict on batches of datapoints
True Model.fit Fit the model on datasets
  • Easier path to integrating new databases and vector-search functionalities. Developers only need to implement:
Method Description
Query.documents Documents referred to by a query
Query.type "insert"
"delete"
"select"
"update"
Query._create_table_if_not_exists Create table in databackend if it doesn't exist
Query.primary_id Get primary-id of base table in query
Query.model_update Construct a model-update query
Query.add_fold Add a fold to a select query
Query.select_using_ids Select data using only ids
Query.select_ids Select the ids of some data
Query.select_ids_of_missing_outputs Select the ids of rows which haven't got outputs yet

Better quality

  • Fully re-vamped test-suite with separation into the following categories
Type Description Command
Unit Unittest - isolated code unit functionality make unit_testing
AI integration Test the installation together with external AI provider works make ext_testing
Databackend integration Test the installation with a fully functioning database backend make databackend_testing
Smoke Test the full integration with ray, vector-search service, data-backend, change-data capture make smoke_testing
Rest Test the Rest-ful server implementation integrates with the rest of the project make rest_testing
