What is Datachain?

Curate, enrich, and version AI datasets at scale with Python. No data movement, automatic lineage and versioning.

DataChain is a suite of tools for AI data preprocessing, management, experiment tracking, ML model versioning, and pipeline automation. It enables users to curate, enrich, and version datasets directly from object storage (S3, GCS, Azure) using Python, without data movement. Features include dataset versioning, lineage tracking, parallel execution, and LLM/CV model integration. Open-source SDK and a Studio offering for teams.

Use Cases

Researchers curate and version training datasets from cloud storage using Python, eliminating duplicate work and ensuring reproducibility.
ML engineers filter and enrich video files with obstacle detection models, saving results as versioned datasets for model training.
Data scientists query and trace data lineage to debug model performance issues, reducing debugging time from days to minutes.
Teams collaborate on shared datasets via the Studio web UI, enabling non-engineers to search and access data without Slack archeology.
AI agents like Claude Code reuse versioned datasets instead of hallucinating pipelines, improving reliability and reducing duplicates.
QA engineers access the same versioned data as researchers, ensuring consistent validation across the organization.
Startups build scalable data pipelines locally with the open-source SDK, then migrate to Studio for team collaboration without code changes.
