30% faster dataset validation in Soup
People training models on laptops just got 30% faster dataset validation on Soup.
The validator checks your datasets before training starts. I optimized it to run in a single pass instead of multiple passes.
Changed row serialization to hashable row signatures. Removed intermediate allocations.
20,000 rows: 0.1397s → 0.0971s.
For users, nothing changed. Same commands. Same configuration. Just less time waiting.
The PR is merged and shipped in Soup v0.75.0. PR: MakazhanAlpamys/Soup #771. Release: v0.75.0.
