I'm building a simple way to package, collaborate, and deploy ML models

Heya HN, after spending +1 year building an ML-driven analytics product (that didn't pan out unfortunately), I've pivoted to solving a problem my team and I found while building the previous product … why the hell is it so hard to move a model from a Jupyter notebook, to a development server, then to a production pipeline!? To solve this my team and I started the open source KitOps project under the Apache 2 license. KitOps includes the Kit CLI that uses a Kitfile manifest to create ModelKits: 1. The kit CLI packages your model, datasets, code, and configuration into an OCI compliant…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Heya HN, after spending +1 year building an ML-driven analytics product (that didn't pan out unfortunately), I've pivoted to solving a problem my team and I found while building the previous product … why the hell is it so hard to move a model from a Jupyter notebook, to a development server, then to a production pipeline!? To solve this my team and I started the open source KitOps project under the Apache 2 license. KitOps includes the Kit CLI that uses a Kitfile manifest to create ModelKits: 1. The kit CLI packages your model, datasets, code, and configuration into an OCI compliant artifact called a ModelKit. The ModelKit keeps everything in one place, tagged, and versioned, our team has found it much easier to collaborate. 2. ModelKits are modular (unlike a Docker file), you can pull only the model or datasets, for example, or grab the whole thing. Plus you can still create a dockerfile for your serialized model. 3. ModelKits provide a history of meaningful state changes for auditing and are immutable so they should be great for a secure bill-of-materials (SBOM) initiative. Full disclosure, I haven't used SBOMs myself but a friend mentioned this as a benefit so thought I'd pass it along. 4. The Kitfile is YAML and easy-to-read so even people who don't understand the ins-and-outs of ML development can find what they need to integrate models into their apps, test models with validation data, or deploy models to their inference engine of choice. We're still early in the development process and are really interested in collecting community feedback.

    Self-Published Book – “Data Science in Production”2020 · ▲172

    Hi HN, Over the past 6 months I've been working on a technical book focused on helping aspiring data scientists to get hands-on experience with cloud computing environments using the Python ecosystem. The book is targeted at readers already familiar with libraries such as Pandas and scikit-learn that are looking to build out a portfolio of applied projects. To author the book, I used the Leanpub platform to provide drafts of the text as I completed each chapter. To typeset the book, I used the R bookdown package by Yihui Xie to translate my markdown into a PDF format. I also used Google docs…

    We built the Keras of LLMs2025 · github.com · ▲5

    Here is a production-first Keras-inspired LM framework, built with the advice of François Chollet (ex-Google, creator of Keras and ARC-AGI), our technical advisor. This system have already been deployed in production with our clients (which is why we have already every LLMOps practice implemented). It is also compatible with Jupyter and Marimo to integrate seamlessly in you Data Scientists workflows. You can try the code examples online on HF space and you can find more information in the documentation and FAQ. If you have any feedback for us don't hesitate to join our discord! More releases…

    The Secret Tool Lets You Build ML Models During Meetings2024 · ▲6

    Hello Hacker News community! I'm currently working in financial risk management within the banking sector, and I began my career as a Data Science specialist. For quite some time, my friend and I have been developing a small pet project just for fun. This tool has repeatedly helped us save time when testing various hypotheses and machine learning models. The core idea is to combine different scripts—created in various programming languages and virtual environments—within a minimalist graphical interface. Whether you're building models, running a local neural network, or sending requests to…
