The three faces

Every face is a thin shell over the same engine. They differ only in how you reach the engine, not in what the engine does.

  • CLI — the fastest way to try the engine from a shell; each subcommand parses arguments and calls the engine.
  • Python — import caliper, built with maturin/PyO3; scriptable like MATLAB/NumPy, and the surface the oracle runs through.
  • Studio — Caliper Studio, a Tauri + React desktop app with a 3D scene and a dataflow node editor.

Because there is one implementation of the math, a result computed via the CLI, via Python, and via a Studio graph node is the same result.
