We're expanding ZenML beyond its original MLOps focus into the LLMOps space, recognizing the same fragmentation patterns that once plagued traditional machine learning operations. We're developing three core capabilities: native LLM components that provide unified APIs and management across providers like OpenAI and Anthropic, along with standardized prompt versioning and evaluation tools; applying established MLOps principles to agent development to bring systematic versioning, evaluation, and observability to what's currently a "build it and pray" approach; and enhancing orchestration to support both LLM framework integration and direct LLM calls within workflows. Central to our philosophy is the principle of starting simple before going autonomous, emphasizing controlled workflows over fully autonomous agents for enterprise production environments, and we're actively seeking community input through a survey to guide our development priorities, recognizing that today's infrastructure decisions will determine which organizations can successfully scale AI deployment versus remaining stuck in pilot phases.
ZenML 0.80.0 transforms tenant structures into workspace/project hierarchies with advanced RBAC for Pro users, while enhancing tagging, resource filtering, and dashboard design. Open-source improvements include Kubernetes security upgrades, SkyPilot integration, and significantly faster CLI operations. Both Pro and OSS users benefit from dramatic performance optimizations, GitLab improvements, and enhanced build tracking.
