SynapseKit is a Python framework for building production-grade LLM applications. Built async-native and streaming-first from day one — not retrofitted. Two hard dependencies. Every abstraction is composable, transparent, and replaceable: plain Python you can read, debug, and extend. No magic. No hidden chains. No lock-in.

---

⚡ Async-native Every API is async/await first. Sync wrappers for scripts and notebooks. No event loop surprises.	🌊 Streaming-first Token-level streaming is the default, not an afterthought. Works across all providers.	🪶 Minimal footprint 2 hard dependencies: numpy + rank-bm25. Everything else is optional. Install only what you use.
🔌 One interface 9 LLM providers and 4 vector stores behind the same API. Swap without rewriting.	🧩 Composable RAG pipelines, agents, and graph nodes are interchangeable. Wrap anything as anything.	🔍 Transparent No hidden chains. Every step is plain Python you can read and override.

Who is it for?

SynapseKit is for Python developers who want to ship LLM features without fighting their framework.

• Backend engineers adding AI features to existing Python services
• ML engineers building RAG or agent pipelines who need full control over retrieval, prompting, and tool use
• Researchers and hackers who want a clean, readable codebase they can understand and extend
• Teams who need something they can actually debug and maintain in production

What it covers

🗂 RAG Pipelines Retrieval-augmented generation with streaming, BM25 reranking, conversation memory, and token tracing. Load from PDFs, URLs, CSVs, HTML, directories, and more.	🤖 Agents ReAct loop (any LLM) and native function calling (OpenAI / Anthropic). Built-in tools for calculator, Python REPL, file read, web search, and SQL. Fully extensible.
🔀 Graph Workflows DAG-based async pipelines. Nodes run in waves — parallel nodes execute concurrently. Conditional routing, compile-time validation, cycle detection, and Mermaid export.	🧠 LLM Providers OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, Gemini, Cohere, Mistral, Bedrock — all behind one interface. Auto-detected from the model name. Swap without rewriting.
🗄 Vector Stores InMemory (built-in, .npz persistence), ChromaDB, FAISS, Qdrant, Pinecone. One interface for all backends.	🔧 Utilities Output parsers (JSON, Pydantic, List), prompt templates (standard, chat, few-shot), token tracing with cost estimation.
