Project Title
postgresml — Postgres with GPUs for ML/AI applications
Overview
PostgresML is an open-source Postgres extension that enables machine learning and AI operations directly within PostgreSQL, leveraging GPU acceleration for faster computations and model inference. It seamlessly combines data storage and machine learning inference within your database, eliminating the need for separate systems and data transfers.
Key Features
- In-Database ML/AI: Run machine learning and AI operations directly within PostgreSQL
- GPU Acceleration: Leverage GPU power for faster computations and model inference
- Large Language Models: Integrate and use state-of-the-art LLMs from Hugging Face
- RAG Pipeline: Built-in functions for chunking, embedding, ranking, and transforming text
- Vector Search: Efficient similarity search using pgvector integration
Use Cases
- Data Scientists: Perform ML operations directly on data where it resides, without moving data to models
- Enterprises: Leverage GPU acceleration for faster ML computations and model inference
- Developers: Integrate state-of-the-art LLMs from Hugging Face into their applications
- Researchers: Utilize the RAG pipeline for natural language processing tasks
Advantages
- Enhanced data privacy by keeping models and data together
- 8-40X faster inference compared to HTTP-based model serving
- Support for millions of transactions per second and horizontal scaling
- Works with existing PostgreSQL tools and client libraries
Limitations / Considerations
- Requires a Postgres database with the
pgmlextension installed - May have limitations in terms of supported ML algorithms and models compared to specialized ML platforms
