Ulmer said the approach is faster than using an LLM and more ergonomic than a classifier, while a commenter noted that treating classification as a retrieval problem with embeddings can reach about 20,000 rows per second on CPU without performance optimization.", "body_md": "Hamilton Ulmer on X: \"I made a DuckDB extension where you can use @typesafeai 's Jev to do quick classification of rows in any csv/parquet file or duckdb table\nabout 10sec for 1k rows ~ better than using an LLM, way more ergonomic than a classifier\ngame-changing for data analysis!\"\n\nI made a DuckDB extension where you can use @typesafeai 's Jev to do quick classification of rows in any csv/parquet file or duckdb table\nabout 10sec for 1k rows ~ better than using an LLM, way more ergonomic than a classifier\ngame-changing for data analysis!\n\nI made a DuckDB extension where you can use @typesafeai 's Jev to do quick classification of rows in any csv/parquet file or duckdb table\nabout 10sec for 1k rows ~ better than using an LLM, way more ergonomic than a classifier\ngame-changing for data analysis!\n\nFor just classification, you can go much faster still by treating classification as a retrieval problem and just using embeddings.
