Pixeltable is a Python library providing a declarative interface for multimodal data (text, images, audio, video). It features built-in versioning, lineage tracking, and incremental updates, enabling users to **store**, **transform**, **index**, and **iterate** on data for their ML workflows. Data transformations, model inference, and custom logic are embedded as **computed columns**. **Pixeltable is persistent. Unlike in-memory Python libraries such as Pandas, Pixeltable is a database.**
