Pandas 3.0 was just released yesterday!! 🤘
And guess what? You can already play with it in Notebook.link.
I quickly built a Notebook.link link for you to play with it now:

Litelines got added to the Awesome LLM constrained decoding repo 😊
It’s great to share this space with more established libraries like Outlines, XGrammar, or Guidance.

You can display SQLite database diagrams in @marimo.io using `fastlite` and `graphviz`.
Here is a basic molab notebook to play online:

Want to visualize the response format constraints on the LLM when working in a Jupyter notebook?
Then you might be interested in my new project `litelines`.
Litelines lets you visualize the selected path by the LLM.
It supports a Pydantic schema as a response format, as well as regular expressions.
