Operationalize at scale with MLOps

MLOps, or DevOps for machine learning, streamlines the machine learning lifecycle, from building models to deployment and management. Use machine learning pipelines to build repeatable workflows, and use a rich model registry to track your assets. Manage production workflows at scale using advanced alerts and machine learning automation capabilities. Profile, validate, and deploy machine learning models anywhere, from the cloud to the edge, to manage production machine learning workflows at scale in an enterprise-ready fashion.

Build responsible machine learning solutions

Access state-of-the-art responsible machine learning capabilities to understand, protect, and control your data, models, and processes. Explain model behavior during training and inferencing, and build for fairness by detecting and mitigating model bias. Preserve data privacy throughout the machine learning lifecycle with differential privacy techniques, and use confidential computing to secure machine learning assets. Automatically maintain audit trails, track lineage, and use model datasheets to enable accountability.

Innovate on an open and flexible platform

Get built-in support for open-source tools and frameworks for machine learning model training and inferencing. Use familiar frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, or scikit-learn, or the open and interoperable ONNX format. Choose the development tools that best meet your needs, including popular IDEs, Jupyter Notebooks, and CLIs, or languages such as Python and R. Use ONNX Runtime to optimize and accelerate inferencing across cloud and edge devices.
