polars.datatypes.Float16

class polars.datatypes.Float16

16-bit floating point type.

Warning

This functionality is considered unstable. It may be changed at any point without it being considered a breaking change.

Warning

Regular computing platforms do not natively support Float16 operations, and compute operations on Float16 will be significantly slower as a result than operation on Float32 or Float64. As such, it is recommended to cast to Float32 before doing any compute operations, and cast back to Float16 afterward if needed.
