AI Functions Overview#

Daft is purpose-built for scaling multimodal AI workloads. AI Functions make it easy to run models on data whether you're generating embeddings, classifying text, or prompting language models. Daft's built-in Image and File abstractions simplify data handling whether it's on your laptop or in the cloud.

The current list of AI functions includes:

• prompt - Generate text completions from language models
• embed_text - Create vector embeddings from text
• embed_image - Create vector embeddings from images
• classify_text - Zero-shot text classification
• classify_image - Zero-shot image classification

For more detailed information on the Providers, see AI Providers Overview. If you'd like to contribute a new AI function or expand provider support, check out Contributing New AI Functions & Providers.
