It's designed to be framework-agnostic, meaning it works alongside existing LLM frameworks like LangChain rather than replacing them. The library depends on cassandra-driver for database connectivity, requests for HTTP operations, and numpy for numerical operations.\n\nThe package is currently at version 0.1.10 and classified as Production/Stable despite being labeled an alpha release in its documentation. It supports Python 3.9 through 3.12 and requires a live Cassandra cluster (version 5+) or Astra DB instance. Development is active but infrequent\u2014the last release was over 680 days ago, though the repository shows recent commits. Breaking changes are possible given the 0.* versioning.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already committed to Cassandra or Astra DB and need to integrate it with LLM/ML workloads. The permissive Apache license, low install friction, and active repository support the choice. However, be aware of the aging maintenance cadence (680 days since last release) and the possibility of breaking changes in the 0.* series. Not recommended if you need a stable, frequently-updated vector database abstraction\u2014consider alternatives if stability and rapid feature iteration are priorities."},"id":"cassio","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cassio","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cassio.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/cassio/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-10-03","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"cassio","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A framework-agnostic Python library to seamlessly integrate Apache Cassandra(R) with ML/LLM/genAI workloads."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":353185,"position":7305,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.10"}
