TabPFN: Foundation model for tabular data

TabPFN Extensions

[!WARNING]

Experimental Code Notice

Please note that the extensions in this repository are experimental.

• They are less rigorously tested than the core tabpfn library.
• APIs are subject to change without notice in future releases. We welcome your feedback and contributions to help improve and stabilize them!

Interactive Notebook Tutorial

[!TIP]

Dive right in with our interactive Colab notebook! It's the best way to get a hands-on feel for TabPFN, walking you through installation, classification, and regression examples.

Installation

# Clone and install the repository
pip install "tabpfn-extensions[all] @ git+https://github.com/PriorLabs/tabpfn-extensions.git"

Available Extensions

• interpretability: Explain TabPFN predictions with SHAP values and feature selection
• many_class: Handle classification problems with more classes than your TabPFN checkpoint supports
• classifier_as_regressor: Use TabPFN's classifier for regression tasks
• unsupervised: Data generation and outlier detection
• embedding: Get TabPFN's internal dense sample embeddings
• tabebm: Data augmentation using TabPFN-based Energy-Based Models
• pval_crt: Statistical feature relevance testing (p-values)
• post_hoc_ensembles (deprecated): AutoTabPFN* — improve performance with model combination via AutoGluon. Scheduled for removal in a future release.
• hpo (deprecated): TunedTabPFN* — automatic hyperparameter tuning for TabPFN via Hyperopt. Scheduled for removal in a future release.

See the Documentation section below for guides, examples, and per-extension READMEs.

Backend Options

Many TabPFN Extensions works with two TabPFN implementations:

1. ** TabPFN Package** - Full PyTorch implementation for local inference:

   pip install tabpfn
   

2. ** TabPFN Client** - Lightweight API client for cloud-based inference:

   pip install tabpfn-client
   

Choose the backend that fits your needs - most extensions work with either option!

Exceptions to this are post_hoc_ensembles (deprecated) and embedding, which only work with the local tabpfn package.

Documentation

Documentation for tabpfn-extensions is spread across several sources. If you are new to the project, the examples are usually the fastest way to get started; for deeper conceptual guides, see the TabPFN Docs pages.

Examples

Runnable scripts and notebooks for extensions and general use cases live in the examples/ directory of this repository:

• embedding/ — access TabPFN's internal dense sample embeddings
• interpretability/ — SHAP values, partial dependence plots, feature selection
• many_class/ — classification with more classes than your checkpoint supports
• pval_crt/ — statistical feature relevance testing
• survival/ — survival analysis
• tabebm/ — data augmentation via TabEBM
• unsupervised/ — data generation, imputation, and outlier detection
• hpo/ (deprecated) — TunedTabPFN* automatic hyperparameter tuning
• phe/ (deprecated) — AutoTabPFN* post-hoc ensembles

TabPFN Docs pages

In-depth guides for selected extensions are available on docs.priorlabs.ai:

• Many-class

Per-extension READMEs

Some extensions ship a dedicated README alongside their source code:

• interpretability/
• pval_crt/
• tabebm/
• hpo/ (deprecated)
• post_hoc_ensembles/ (deprecated)

Interactive notebook

The main TabPFN demo notebook also covers several extensions — in particular the unsupervised and interpretability extensions:

For Contributors

Interested in adding your own extension? We welcome contributions!

We use uv to manage the project's environment, so install that first.

# Clone and set up for development
git clone https://github.com/PriorLabs/tabpfn-extensions.git
cd tabpfn-extensions
uv sync
source .venv/bin/activate

# If you add optional dependencies for your extension in pyproject.toml, install them
# like this
uv sync --extra [your extension name]

# Test your extension with fast mode
FAST_TEST_MODE=1 pytest tests/test_your_extension.py -v

See our Contribution Guide for more details.
