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 migrating data, 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.

• 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.

The notebooks below are examples how to make use of different frameworks, model providers, vector databases, retrieval techniques and so on.

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>')

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:

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