The Linux Foundation recently launched the Acumos Al Project with an aim to make AI accessible to all. Acumos AI is a platform and an open source framework, to easily build, share and deploy Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep learning applications.

As a part of the LF Deep Learning Foundation, Acumos strives to make these AI, ML and DL technologies available to developers and data scientists everywhere. It caters to a broad range of business use cases, which include network analytics, customer care, field service and equipment repair, healthcare analytics, network security and advanced video services, and many more.

Let’s have a look at what Acumos AI has in store.

The Acumos AI Project,

Packages tool kits such as TensorFlow and SciKit Learn and models with a common API that allows them to seamlessly connect
Allows easy onboarding and training of models and tools
Supports a variety of popular software languages, including Java, Python, and R
Leverages modern microservices and containers in order to package and export production-ready AI applications as Docker files
Includes a federated AI Model Marketplace, which is a catalog of AI models contributed by the community that can be securely shared

Benefits of Acumos AI

It provides a standardized platform, an easy export, and Docker-file deployment to any environment, including major public clouds, making stand-up and maintenance a breeze
It has a simplified toolkit and model onboarding, which helps data scientists focus on building great AI models rather than maintaining infrastructure.
The Acumos AI comprises of a Visual design editor, a drag-and-drop application design, and a chaining feature, where applications can be chained to create an array of AI services. These enable end users to deploy complicated AI apps for training and testing within minutes.
