PandasAI v1.5 is here! 🚀

We're thrilled to introduce the latest update, PandasAI v1.5. PandasAI is now faster than ever. We worked on optimizing it for speed and it's now about 2x cheaper (the prompt is 2x smaller) and at least 2x faster, depending on the query.

The biggest change is Pipelines. Pipelines leverage LLMs and are at the core of everything in PandasAI. Even the .chat method of the SmartDataframe and SmartDatalake now relies on Pipelines. We also added a new Pipeline to generate synthetic data with just a few samples. This can be used to train models, or for fake data in dev environments.

The key highlights are faster performance, lower cost, new synthetic data capabilities, and streamlined pipelines. Backwards incompatible changes were made by removing several features. Overall an exciting release that makes PandasAI more powerful and accessible!
