The spaCy v3 pretrained pipelines are designed to be efficient and configurable.
The spaCy v3 trained pipelines are designed to be efficient and configurable.
For example, multiple components can share a common "token-to-vector" model and
it's easy to swap out or disable the lemmatizer. The pipelines are designed to
be efficient in terms of speed and size and work well when the pipeline is run
in full.
When modifying a pretrained pipeline, it's important to understand how the
When modifying a trained pipeline, it's important to understand how the
components **depend on** each other. Unlike spaCy v2, where the `tagger`,
`parser` and `ner` components were all independent, some v3 components depend on
earlier components in the pipeline. As a result, disabling or reordering

[`spacy.load`](/api/top-level#spacy.load) let you control which components are
loaded and run. Disabled components are loaded in the background so it's
possible to reenable them in the same pipeline in the future with
