Pydantic AI FAQ
- Is Pydantic AI free?
- Pydantic AI itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.
- Do I need to install anything or write code to use Pydantic AI?
- This is a library meant to be used from code. It is not a standalone app.
- Does Pydantic AI work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use Pydantic AI commercially?
- The licence is MIT, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
