SuperDuperDB is an open-source framework for integrating your database with AI models, APIs, and vector search engines, providing streaming inference and scalable training/fine-tuning.
SuperDuperDB is not a database. SuperDuperDB is an open platform unifying data infrastructure and AI. Think db = superduper(db)
: SuperDuperDB transforms your databases into an intelligent system that leverages the full power of the AI, open-source and Python ecosystem. It is a single scalable environment for all your AI that can be deployed anywhere, in the cloud, on-prem, on your machine.
SuperDuperDB allows you to build AI applications easily without needing to move your data to complex MLOps pipelines and specialized vector databases by integrating AI at the dataโs source, directly on top of your existing data infrastructure:
- Generative AI & LLM-Chat
- Vector Search
- Standard Machine Learning Use-Cases (Classification, Segmentation, Recommendation etc.)
- Highly custom AI use-cases involving ultra specialized models
To get started: Check the use-cases we have already implemented here in the docs as well as the apps built by the community in the dedicated superduper-community-apps repo.!
SuperDuperDB is open-source: Please leave a star to support the project! โญ
- 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.
- Streaming Inference: 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, but Extendable Interface: Add and leverage any function, program, script or algorithm from the Python ecosystem to enhance your workflows and applications. Drill down to any layer of implementation, including to the inner workings of your models while operating SuperDuperDB with simple Python commands.
- 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.
With SuperDuperDB | Without | |
---|---|---|
Data Management & Security | Data stays in the database, with AI outputs stored alongside inputs available to downstream applications. Data access and security to be externally controlled via database access management. | Data duplication and migration to different environments, and specialized vector databases, imposing data management overhead. |
Infrastructure | A single environment to build, ship, and manage your AI applications, facilitating scalability and optimal compute efficiency. | Complex fragmented infrastructure, with multiple pipelines, coming with high adoption and maintenance costs and increasing security risks. |
Code | Minimal learning curve due to a simple and declarative API, requiring simple Python commands. | Hundreds of lines of codes and settings in different environments and tools. |

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:
- Install and deploy model:
m = db.add(
<sklearn_model>|<torch_module>|<transformers_pipeline>|<arbitrary_callable>,
preprocess=<your_preprocess_callable>,
postprocess=<your_postprocess_callable>,
encoder=<your_datatype>
)
- Predict:
m.predict(X='<input_column>', db=db, select=<mongodb_query>, listen=False|True, create_vector_index=False|True)
- Train model:
m.fit(X='<input_column_or_key>', y='<target_column_or_key>', db=db, select=<mongodb_query>|<ibis_query>)

Integrate externally hosted models accessible via API to work together with your other models with a simple Python command:
m = db.add(
OpenAI<Task>|Cohere<Task>|Anthropic<Task>|JinaAI<Task>(*args, **kwargs), # <Task> - Embedding,ChatCompletion,...
)

Here are snippets which give you a sense of how superduperdb
works and how simple it is to use. You can visit the docs to learn more.
Automatically compute outputs (inference) with your database in a single environment.
import pymongo
from sklearn.svm import SVC
from superduperdb import superduper
# Make your db superduper!
db = superduper(pymongo.MongoClient().my_db)
# Models client can be converted to SuperDuperDB objects with a simple wrapper.
model = superduper(SVC())
# Add the model into the database
db.add(model)
# Predict on the selected data.
model.predict(X='input_col', db=db, select=Collection(name='test_documents').find({'_fold': 'valid'}))
Simply by querying your database, without additional ingestion and pre-processing:
import pymongo
from sklearn.svm import SVC
from superduperdb import superduper
# Make your db superduper!
db = superduper(pymongo.MongoClient().my_db)
# Models client can be converted to SuperDuperDB objects with a simple wrapper.
model = superduper(SVC())
# Fit model on the training data.
model.fit(X='input_col', y='target_col', db=db, select=Collection(name='test_documents').find({}))
Use your existing favorite database as a vector search database, including model management and serving.
# First a "Listener" makes sure vectors stay up-to-date
indexing_listener = Listener(model=OpenAIEmbedding(), key='text', select=collection.find())
# This "Listener" is linked with a "VectorIndex"
db.add(VectorIndex('my-index', indexing_listener=indexing_listener))
# The "VectorIndex" may be used to search data. Items to be searched against are passed
# to the registered model and vectorized. No additional app layer is required.
db.execute(collection.like({'text': 'clothing item'}, 'my-index').find({'brand': 'Nike'}))
Use OpenAI, Jina AI, PyTorch or Hugging face model as an embedding model for vector search.
# Create a ``VectorIndex`` instance with indexing listener as OpenAIEmbedding and add it to the database.
db.add(
VectorIndex(
identifier='my-index',
indexing_listener=Listener(
model=OpenAIEmbedding(identifier='text-embedding-ada-002'),
key='abstract',
select=Collection(name='wikipedia').find(),
),
)
)
# The above also executes the embedding model (openai) with the select query on the key.
# Now we can use the vector-index to search via meaning through the wikipedia abstracts
cur = db.execute(
Collection(name='wikipedia')
.like({'abstract': 'philosophers'}, n=10, vector_index='my-index')
)
model_id = "meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
"text-generation",
model=model_id,
torch_dtype=torch.float16,
device_map="auto",
)
model = Pipeline(
identifier='my-sentiment-analysis',
task='text-generation',
preprocess=tokenizer,
object=pipeline,
torch_dtype=torch.float16,
device_map="auto",
)
# You can easily predict on your collection documents.
model.predict(
X=Collection(name='test_documents').find(),
db=db,
do_sample=True,
top_k=10,
num_return_sequences=1,
eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
max_length=200
)
model.predict(
X='input_col',
db=db,
select=coll.find().featurize({'X': '<upstream-model-id>'}), # already registered upstream model-id
listen=True,
)
