The idea of the array API is to have a standard API across all Python array libraries. numpy.array_api is currently implemented as a fully conformant version of that API, but the plan is to eventually make NumPy itself conform as well (so vecdot should be added to numpy at some point). > > I see that currently the vecdot function returns a 2x2 array from two 2x3 > APIs, which matches np.inner but is not what I would expect. Does your fix > make it instead return a 1-d length-2 array? Yes. I incorrectly implemented vecdot using tensordot, but with my PR this would return a shape (2,) array (with the default axis=-1).
