AI Stack Components

Explore the core components of the Pragmatic AI Stack - curated tools and libraries for building modern AI applications.

AI Stack Components

Welcome to the comprehensive guide for the Pragmatic AI Stack components. Our carefully curated collection includes the essential tools and libraries you need to build robust, scalable AI applications.

What is the Pragmatic AI Stack?

The Pragmatic AI Stack is a thoughtfully selected set of Python libraries and tools that work seamlessly together to accelerate AI application development. Each component has been chosen for its:

  • Production readiness - Battle-tested in real-world applications
  • Developer experience - Excellent documentation and community support
  • Interoperability - Works well with other stack components
  • Performance - Optimized for speed and efficiency
  • Maintainability - Active development and long-term support

Core Categories

Our stack is organized into six main categories, each addressing a specific aspect of AI application development:

Web Framework

Modern, fast frameworks for building APIs and web applications that serve as the backbone of your AI systems.

LLM Framework

Comprehensive libraries for working with Large Language Models, building chains, agents, and complex AI workflows.

Data Validation

Type-safe validation and serialization tools that ensure data integrity throughout your application.

Observability

Monitoring and analytics tools specifically designed for AI applications, helping you track performance, costs, and usage.

LLM Gateway

Unified interfaces for working with multiple LLM providers, enabling flexibility and cost optimization.

Database ORM

Robust object-relational mapping tools for managing data persistence and complex database operations.
