 EvaDB enables software developers to build AI apps in a few lines of code. Its powerful SQL API simplifies AI app development for both structured and unstructured data. EvaDB's benefits include:
-- 🔮 Easy to connect EvaDB with your SQL database system and build AI-powered apps with SQL queries
-- 🤝 Query your data with a pre-trained AI model from Hugging Face, OpenAI, YOLO, PyTorch, and other AI frameworks
-- ⚡️ Faster queries thanks to AI-centric query optimization
-- 💰 Save money spent on running models by efficient CPU/GPU use
-- 🔧 Fine-tune your AI models to achieve better results
