Current limitations

As of March 2026, this project is in open beta, meaning that it is available for testing before the official launch. This means that it is still in development and there could be bugs or breaking changes.

Polars with the GPU engine also currently only works on Linux or Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2).

Currently, not all data types and expressions are supported. For an up to date of what is supported, have a look at the official documentation.
