Hamilton

LLM Orchestrators

Overview

A micro-framework for defining dataflows in Python. It is increasingly used for orchestrating complex LLM and RAG pipelines by transforming messy logic into a clean, directed acyclic graph (DAG) of functions.

Hamilton is a Python micro-framework that turns functions into a clean, testable directed acyclic graph, increasingly used to orchestrate LLM and RAG pipelines. It brings readable, maintainable structure to otherwise messy data and prompt logic. It targets teams building production-grade data and AI pipelines.

Key Features

  • Function-based DAG dataflows
  • Readable, testable pipelines
  • Good for RAG and data prep
  • Lineage and visualization
  • Open-source

Best For

Teams who want clean, maintainable dataflows for RAG and AI pipelines.

Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Clean, testable architecture
  • Strong for data/RAG pipelines
  • Open-source
Cons
  • DAG mindset to learn
  • Not AI-specific by itself
