I like the idea a lot but it's still unclear from the docs what the hard security boundary is once you start calling LLMs - can it avoid "breaking out" into the host env in practice?

Good point - it does sound a bit like marketing bs. We’ll rephrase it.

Good question! I’m not so familiar with it. It looks like Daft is closer to Lance with it’s own data format and engine. But I’d appreciate more insights from users or the creators.

Lance is just a data format. Lance DB might be more comparable to DataChain. DataChain focuses on data transformation and versioning, whereas LanceDB appears to be more about retrieving and serving data. Both designed for multimodal use cas

It's not a format :) It's simpliy about linking metadata from a json to a corresponding image or video file, like pairing data003.png & data003.json to a single, virtual record. Some format use this approach: open-image or lai

Absolutely, that's a common scenario! Just connect from your Python code (like the lambda in the example) to DB and extract the necessary data.

I guess, it involves splitting a file into smaller document snippets, getting page numbers and such, and calculating embeddings for each snippet—that’s the usual approach. Specific signals vary by use case. Hopefully, @jerednel can add more

Exactly! DataChain does lazy compute. It will read metadata/json while applying filtering and only download a sample of data files (jpg) based on the filter. This way, you might end up downloading just 1% of your data, as defined by th

DataChain has no assumptions about metadata format. However, some formats are supported out of the box: WebDataset, json-pair, openimage, etc. Extract metadata as usual, then return the result as JSON or a Pydantic object. DataChian will au

Yes, it's not meant to replace data engineering tools like Prefect or Temporal. Instead, it serves as a transformation engine and ad-hoc analytics for images/video/text data. It's pretty much DBT use case for text and im

Can this work statistically? For a giving number of attempts, you can ger a required number of successes to make sure it's a statistically meaningful result. In theory, this approach could help address the non-determinism of LLMs.

Right, DVC caches data for consistency and reproducibility. If caching is not needed and streaming required, we've created a sister tool DataChain. It's even supports WebDataset and can stream from tar archives and filter images b

In this cases, you need DVC if: 1. File are too large for Git and Git LFS. 2. You prefer using S3/GCS/Azure as a storage. 3. You need to track transformations/piplines on the file - clean up text file, train mode, etc. Otherw

Bridging the gap between AI and data warehouses is crucial, but I’m not sure SQL is the best fit for AI engineers who mainly work with Python and AI APIs. At DataChain, we are solving this by creating a Python API that translates to SQL und
