MindsDB VS ibis

If your data lacks uniform time intervals between consecutive entries, QuestDB offers a solution by allowing you to sample your data. After that, MindsDB facilitates creating, training, and deploying your time-series models.

MindsDB is an open-source AI platform for developers that connects AI/ML models with real-time data. It provides tools and automation to easily build and maintain personalized AI solutions.

MindsDB combines both AI and SQL functions in one; users can create, train, optimize, and deploy ML models without the need for external tools. Data analysts can create and visualize forecasts without having to navigate the complexities of ML pipelines.MindsDB is open-source and works with well-known databases like MySQL, Postgres, Redit, Snowflakes, etc.

Mindsdb is a good example. It abstracts everything related to an AI workflow as "virtual tables". For example, you can import OpenAI API as a "virtual table":

MindsDB is an AI Automation platform for building AI/ML powered features and applications. It works by connecting any data source with any AI/ML model or framework and automating how real-time data flows between them. MindsDB is integrated with LlamaIndex, which makes use of its data framework for connecting custom data sources to large language models. LlamaIndex data ingestion allows you to connect to data sources like PDF’s, webpages, etc., provides data indexing and a query interface that takes input prompts from your data and provides knowledge-augmented responses, thus making it easy to Q&A over documents and webpages.

Now, imagine if you can deploy these highly trained models in your database to get insights, make predictions, understand your users, auto-generate content, and more. MindsDB makes this possible! MindsDB is an open-source AI database middleware that allows you to supercharge your databases by integrating various machine learning (ML) engines.

I really don't understand the appeal of dbt vs a proper programming language. The templating approach leads to massive spaghetti. I look forward to trying out something like Ibis [0]

ibis – portable Python dataframe library

The main benefit is that you get a Python (or R, Julia or Rust) interpreter. So you can evaluate code. A good example of the value of this is the Ibis docs which use Quarto: https://ibis-project.org/

Ive found polars quite intuitive, though for python, I lean more towards [ibis](https://ibis-project.org/). The interface is nearly identical, but ibis has the benefit if building sql queries before pulling any actual data (like dbplyr) — whereas polars requires the data to be in-memory (at least for rdb’s, though correct me if Im wrong)

this to me seems like a good argument for only using ibis, but Im happy to be convinced otherwise

Please add Ibis Birdbrain https://ibis-project.github.io/ibis-birdbrain/ to the list. Birdbrain is an AI-powered data bot, built on Ibis and Marvin, supporting more than 18 database backends.

See https://github.com/ibis-project/ibis and https://ibis-project.org for more details.
