LanceDB is a developer-friendly, open source database for AI. It's used by well-known companies such as Midjourney and Character.ai. We have Chang She, the CEO and cofounder of LanceDB on to give us a look at the concept of multi-modal data and how you can use LanceDB in your own Python apps.

#487: Building Rust Extensions for Python
There has been a lot of changes in the low-level Python space these days. The biggest has to be how many projects have rewritten core performance-intensive sections in Rust. Or even the wholesale adoption of Rust for newer projects such as uv and ruff. On this episode, we dive into the tools and workflow needed to build these portions of Python apps in Rust with David Seddon and Samuel Colvin.

#486: CSnakes: Embed Python code in .NET
If you are a .NET developer or work in a place that has some of those folks, wouldn't it be great to fully leverage the entirety of PyPI with it's almost 600,000 packages inside your .NET code? But how would you do this? Previous efforts have let you write Python syntax but using the full libraries (especially the C-based ones) has been out of reach, until CSnakes. This project by Anthony Shaw and Aaron Powell unlocks some pretty serious integration between the two languages. We have them both here on the show today to tell us all about it.
