Learn how to migrate from cnvrg.io to ZenML's open-source MLOps framework. Discover a sustainable alternative before Intel Tiber AI Studio's 2025 end-of-life. Get started with your MLOps transition today.
As organizations rush to adopt generative AI, several major tech companies have proposed maturity models to guide this journey. While these frameworks offer useful vocabulary for discussing organizational progress, they should be viewed as descriptive rather than prescriptive guides. Rather than rigidly following these models, organizations are better served by focusing on solving real problems while maintaining strong engineering practices, building on proven DevOps and MLOps principles while adapting to the unique challenges of GenAI implementation.
As our AI/ML projects evolve and mature, our processes and tooling also need to keep up with the growing demand for automation, quality and performance. But how can we possibly reconcile our need for flexibility with the overwhelming complexity of a continuously evolving ecosystem of tools and technologies? MLOps frameworks promise to deliver the ideal balance between flexibility, usability and maintainability, but not all MLOps frameworks are created equal. In this post, I take a critical look at what makes an MLOps framework worth using and what you should expect from one.
The MLOps movement and associated new tooling is starting to help tackle the very real technical debt problems associated with machine learning in production.
MLOps isn't just about new technologies and coding practices. Getting better at productionizing your models also likely requires some institutional and/or organisational shifts.
An exploration of some frameworks created by Google and Microsoft that can help think through improvements to how machine learning models get developed and deployed in production.
Connecting model training pipelines to deploying models in production is seen as a difficult milestone on the way to achieving MLOps maturity for an organization. ZenML rises to the challenge and introduces a novel approach to continuous model deployment that renders a smooth transition from experimentation to production.
Using config files to specify infrastructure for training isn't widely practiced in the machine learning community, but it helps a lot with reproducibility.
