Tesseract Core bundles:

1. Tools to define, create, and run Tesseracts, via the tesseract CLI and tesseract_core Python API.
2. The Tesseract Runtime, a lightweight, high-performance execution environment for Tesseracts.

What is a Tesseract?

Tesseracts are components that expose experimental, research-grade software to the world. They are self-contained, self-documenting, and self-executing, via command line and HTTP. They are designed to be easy to create, easy to use, and easy to share, including in a production environment. This repository contains all you need to define your own and execute them.

Tesseracts provide built-in support for differentiable programming by propagating gradient information at the level of individual components, making it easy to build complex, diverse software pipelines that can be optimized end-to-end.

Quick start

[!NOTE] Before proceeding, make sure you have a working installation of Docker and a modern Python installation (Python 3.10+); if you prefer Docker Desktop for your platform, see our extended installation instructions.

1. Install Tesseract Core:

   $ pip install tesseract-core
   

2. Build an example Tesseract:

   $ git clone https://github.com/pasteurlabs/tesseract-core
   $ tesseract build tesseract-core/examples/vectoradd
   

3. Display its API documentation:

   $ tesseract apidoc vectoradd
   

4. Run the Tesseract:

   $ tesseract run vectoradd apply '{"inputs": {"a": [1], "b": [2]}}'
   {"result":{"object_type":"array","shape":[1],"dtype":"float64","data":{"buffer":[3.0],"encoding":"json"}}}⏎
   

[!TIP] Now you're ready to dive into the documentation for more information on installation, creating Tesseracts, and invoking them.
