Our AI and ML Toolbox

OVHcloud AI Notebooks

The journey of AI model development begins with OVHcloud AI Notebooks, a powerful cloud-based environment designed for interactive coding, exploration, and collaboration. Data scientists and machine learning engineers often start by prototyping their models and conducting exploratory data analysis. OVHcloud AI Notebooks excels by providing an interactive platform based on the popular Jupyter Notebooks framework.

Business benefits: OVHcloud AI Notebooks offers a dynamic workspace where your team can write and run Python code, visualize data, and document insights with text, equations, and images, all within a single, intuitive environment. It eliminates the need for expensive local hardware by running on OVHcloud’s high-performance cloud servers, allowing you to scale resources as your projects grow. With popular AI frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Scikit-learn pre-installed, you can jump straight into development without wasting time on setup. Plus, it’s built for teamwork, enabling real-time collaboration and sharing, so your team can iterate quickly and experiment freely. 

OVHcloud AI Training

After developing a prototype in AI Notebooks, the subsequent step is to engage in AI Training, where models undergo learning and optimization at scale. While AI Notebooks offers a robust environment for experimentation, AI Training is tailored for the demands of resource-intensive model training. This specialized framework ensures that machine learning engineers are equipped with the necessary computational resources for various high-performance tasks, including deep learning and reinforcement learning. By leveraging AI Training, organizations can effectively enhance their models and prepare them for production-level deployment.

Business benefits: OVHcloud AI Training offers customizable environments, allowing you to create and deploy tailored Docker images with the precise libraries, configurations, and dependencies needed for your projects. Its high-performance compute options, including a wide range of CPUs and GPUs, are optimized for training complex models, resulting in faster and more efficient processing. Cost efficiency is a key advantage, as AI Training jobs automatically stop upon completion, ensuring your company only pays for the resources it uses. The platform seamlessly integrates with OVHcloud Object Storage, providing fast and efficient access to datasets without complicated data management workflows. Additionally, scalable resources empower you to tackle larger datasets and more complex models without hardware limitations.

OVHcloud AI Deploy

Once you’ve trained and optimized your machine learning model, the exciting next step is deployment! That’s where OVHcloud AI Deploy comes in. It’s designed to help you easily roll out your trained models into production environments, so you can start making real-time predictions through web interfaces or API endpoints.

No matter if you're working with a recommendation engine, an image classifier, or a natural language processing model, AI Deploy makes the move from development to deployment a breeze. It ensures the whole process is smooth and ready to scale as you grow. 

Business benefits: OVHcloud AI Deploy enables real-time inference, allowing your businesses to send input data to models and receive predictions instantly, making it ideal for low-latency applications like real-time image recognition or speech-to-text. Its high availability and scalability features, including static scaling with a fixed number of replicas or auto-scaling that dynamically adjusts replicas based on resource usage, ensure consistent performance under varying workloads. Security and access control are prioritized, with options for public or restricted access and integration with OVHcloud’s secure infrastructure to protect models from unauthorized access. Additionally, AI Deploy seamlessly integrates with OVHcloud Object Storage for efficient data management and leverages high-performance computing resources to keep models responsive and efficient in production.

Three AI Solutions That Work Together

When used collectively, OVHcloud AI Notebooks, AI Training, and AI Deploy establish a cohesive workflow for your AI and machine learning projects, offering a unified ecosystem that supports the entire AI lifecycle. The process begins with AI Notebooks, where data scientists and machine learning engineers experiment with code, visualize data, and prototype models in an interactive setting that promotes swift iteration, algorithm exploration, data preprocessing, and documentation. Once a model is ready, AI Notebooks integrates effortlessly with AI Training, enabling you to upload notebooks and data, scale computing resources, and customize training environments using Docker images. This setup utilizes high-performance GPUs and CPUs, allowing efficient model training on substantial datasets. Following the training phase, AI Deploy supports real-time inference by deploying models through APIs or web interfaces, making them readily available for applications that need immediate predictions. Together, these tools offer a thorough solution, empowering your business to develop and deploy optimized, scalable, and accessible models for research, development, or production. With OVHcloud’s AI ecosystem, the transition from data exploration to practical applications is smooth and efficient.
