This means that you're not tied to uv for anything, as most project settings it uses (eg metadata, dependencies, extras, etc.) are based on PEPs. poetry has its own format for many things. https://peps.python.org/pep-0751/

Ah, I see that this is a newer format than the projects I've been using poetry for. Are there advantages to move to it?

Interoperability being the major one. You can switch between uv and other tools (such as pdm and hatch) with minimal effort.
