@predict_addict 2. My current default stack is Polars for dataframes, GBTs for most modeling, Optuna for hyperparameter optimization, scikit-learn for preprocessing , metrics and some other models, Nixtla for forecasting and rapids when I have access to gpu. What alternatives would u recommend?
@predict_addict 1. For local dataframes, I agree pandas is showing its age — Polars, DuckDB, and cuDF (with GPU) are better choices. That said, I still haven’t found a great replacement for local tabular ML development: scikit-learn is still hard to beat for preprocessing and metrics on CPU.
