It provides a flexible and adaptable open-source platform for PDF fitting.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;strong>Key Features:&lt;/strong>&lt;/p>
&lt;ul>
&lt;li>Perform PDF fits using flexible parametrisations&lt;/li>
&lt;li>Support for JAX-based computations (CPU by default)&lt;/li>
&lt;li>Optional GPU (CUDA) support for accelerated JAX operations&lt;/li>
&lt;li>Command-line scripts for common workflows (&lt;code>colibri&lt;/code>, &lt;code>evolve_fit&lt;/code>, etc.)&lt;/li>
&lt;li>Integration with external PDF model repositories&lt;/li>
&lt;/ul>
&lt;p>Colibri is part of the &lt;a href="https://www.pbsp.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PBSP&lt;/a> project and is built to work with the NNPDF framework.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;strong>Installation:&lt;/strong>&lt;/p>
