docarray VS pydantic

I’ve heard of DocArray, a library for multimodal data in transit and Pytorch Lightning which is also a tool for multimodal data. These two sound like a promising solution, but I’m not sure how to use it with databases or cloud storage. Do I need to install any additional packages or dependencies?

I'm considering using these tools for a recommender system for analyzing text data like user reviews: DocArray and the EZ-MMLA Toolkit. Can anyone share their experience with the DocArray and EZ-MMLA Toolkit? I would love to hear about others' experiences before making a final decision.

I have been thinking about trying out DocArray and the EZ-MMLA Toolkit .. Has anyone had experience with these two projects?? Let me know what you think!

For some alternatives, I know there’s DocArray where you can handle text, image and audio data. is basically a toolbox for multimodal data and then there should be Haystack which is also let you build search systems and also has to do something with Transformers and LLMs.

DocArray to manipulate data and interact with the storage backend using document store.

It's already been two weeks since the last alpha release of DocArray v2. And since then a lot has happened — we've merged features we're really proud of, and we've cried tears of joy and misery trying to coerce Python into doing what we want. If you want to learn about interesting Python edge cases or follow the advancement of DocArray v2 development then you’ve come to the right place in this blog post!

The German Fashion12k dataset is available for free use by the Jina AI community. After logging into Jina AI Cloud, you can download it directly in DocArray format:

You could try spaCy. This is the brains of the operation - an open-source NLP library for advanced NLP in Python. Another is DocArray - It's built on top of NumPy and Dask, and good for preprocessing, modeling, and analysis of text data.

First, note the method prefix_allowed_tokens_fn. This method applies a Pydantic model to constrain/guide how the LLM generates tokens. Next, see how that constrain can be applied to txtai's LLM pipeline.

utype is a concise alternative of pydantic with simplified parameters and usages, supporting both sync/async functions and generators parsing, and capable of using native logic operators to define logical types like AND/OR/NOT, also provides custom type parsing by register mechanism that supports libraries like pydantic, attrs and dataclasses

I like some of the changes from v1 to v2. But then you have something like this [0] removed from the library without proper documentation or replacement, resulting in ugly workarounds in the link that wont' work properly.

The easiest implementation I found was to use a PyDantic class for my target schema — and use that as a parameter for the method call to “ChatCompletion.create()”. Here’s a fragment of the GinAI Python classes used.

Also, FastStream uses Pydantic to parse input JSON-encoded data into Python objects, making it easy to work with structured data in your applications, so you can serialize your input messages just using type annotations.

Not sure if it is exactly related, but there is an open issue on Github for that exact message.

Well the performance increase is so huge because pydantic1 is really really slow. And for using rust, I'd have expected more tbh…

I've been benchmarking pydantic v2 against typedload (which I write) and despite the rust, it still manages to be slower than pure python in some benchmarks.

The ones on the website are still about comparing to v1 because v2 was not out yet at the time of the last release.

pydantic's author will refuse to benchmark any library that is faster (https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic/pull/3264 https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic/pull/1525 https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic/pull/1810) and keep boasting about amazing performances.

On pypy, v2 beta was really really really slow.
