About SymbolicAI

SymbolicAI is an open-source Python repository for a neuro-symbolic framework that combines ordinary Python programming with large language models. Its central objects are Symbol values, which begin in syntactic mode and can be switched to semantic mode so operations such as equality, addition, logical combination, iteration, string helpers and similarity are interpreted by meaning. The project also applies design-by-contract ideas to LLM outputs through decorators and data models compatible with Pydantic.

Key features

  • Combines Python code with LLM-backed semantic operations via Symbol objects
  • Switches values between syntactic and semantic views with .sem and .syn
  • Provides primitives for semantic comparison, arithmetic, logic, iteration and similarity
  • Adds contract decorators with Pydantic-compatible data models and validation constraints
  • Supports custom or locally hosted engines and modular extension
  • Can interface with external tools such as web search or image generation
Best for: Python developers and AI engineers who want to mix conventional code with LLM semantic operations and contract-based validation.
Good for
  • Open-source and modular, with a design intended for extension and customization.
  • Syntactic mode is the default, keeping ordinary Python operations fast; semantic behavior is opt-in.
  • Includes primitives and contracts for building LLM-backed workflows in Python.
Watch out for
  • Clustering requires the optional symbolicai[cluster] dependency.
  • Users must choose or host an engine, including external tools, rather than relying on a bundled default.

SymbolicAI FAQ

What is SymbolicAI?
It is a neuro-symbolic Python framework that combines classical Python programming with LLMs, centered on Symbol objects and contracts.
How do I use semantic operations?
Create a Symbol with semantic=True or access the .sem projection; .syn switches back to syntactic mode, and some dot-notation operations switch automatically.
Does SymbolicAI support validation for LLM outputs?
Yes. It provides contracts via a decorator, using data models compatible with Pydantic and validation constraints.
Is something wrong or out of date?
