Array API Coverage Implementation Status

Cubed supports version 2022.12 of the Python array API standard, with a few exceptions noted below. The linear algebra extensions and Fourier transform functions¶ are not supported.

Support for version 2023.12 is tracked in Cubed issue #438.

This table shows which parts of the the Array API have been implemented in Cubed, and which ones are missing. The version column shows the version when the feature was added to the standard, for version 2022.12 or later.
