Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited integrations with non-Python data science tools

   Primary support is for Python libraries and frameworks, limited native support for R or Julia

2. 02

   Performance issues with large datasets

   Handling very large files can lead to slow performance due to the overhead of versioning binary data

What it does well

• Version control for machine learning projects

• Reproducibility of experiments and pipelines

• Integration with Git for versioning

• Support for large data files through remote storage integration
