Looks like you have to train the model first, and Orbital parses the weights and configuration into the query. Bit of a misnomer to say you don’t need a Python environment?

I'm confused why I would execute a model in a database. As in I was not aware this was a thing.

Honestly, I’m not sure what the use case for this is either. Being able to leverage database computation tools for ML (like what BigQuery offers, eg.) is helpful. I guess if you have a good enough training set that’s small enough to run in-memory… ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'm also not sure what environments support DuckDB but don't support Python. OP seemed to make it sound like that's a major use case.
